The trouble is that without a huge demand for gliders there is no
incentive to spend the capital that it would take to build the
manufacturing infrastructure that it takes to make them inexpensively.
And without plentiful inexpensive gliders, soaring will continue to be
popular among only (relatively) affluent people.

Partnerships have been popular in Europe. Quite easy to halve or quarter
the price of a glider when you realize you can't fly it yourself all the
time. Look at all the 10-25 year old gliders with 500-2500 hours on them.
At that rate you can afford both the glider and the greens fees.
