I've been using JJ's tie-down kit with my ASW27 successfully. The
ASW27 does not have otherwise any acceptable method for tie down which
I know off. JJ's tie downs can go over the aileron or flaps without
damaging them since the force is mostly all forward. I use them over
the aileron/flap juncture. They are small enough to be carried easily
in most gliders. I also carry JJ's wing tip detachable wheel, another
great JJ product, for aeroretrieves from dirt strips without wing
runner. Both kits can be carried easily in my 27 compartment.
I recently landed at Minden and used the tie downs without wing
stands. The wind was calm when I landed but started blowing at dawn
and was gusting over 30 when I arrived at the airport. It even blew
the wind sock away, but the tie downs held nicely with no harm to the
wings. JJ's tie down kit passed the test :-)

Both products are available from Williams Soaring Center:
