A new direction for an old thread: Crosswind landings

It's interesting that everyone is talking about aligning with the
centerline of the runway.

Why not set up a diagonal landing and thus reduce the crosswind
component at touchdown. Even on a narrow runway, one can line up on
the downwind side and touch down maybe 20 degrees or more into the
wind.

With practice, one can land even more into the wind, then while the
rudder is still effective, make a gentle downwind turn so the nose is
again away from the crosswind and as speed drops, the glider will
finally weathervane into the wind. The ground track is a kind of S
turn.
