First, to address Tim’s post, I personally know 2 of the top 7 pilots
in the 2010 WGC and one was the winner! To say these guys spent a lot
of money on their Libelles (Libellie?) is not correct. They do spend a
significant amount of sweat equity in their ships. All three are
immaculate!

Bob:

I did not mean to imply that the investment in a club class ship is
always in $$$'s to get the absolutely best whiz-bangs into/on it. But
how much is your time worth? I am sure those pilots put a value on all
that sweat equity :-)

Rather, the barrier to entry (i.e. buying the glider/instruments/
trailer) for a Club Class ship in the first place is MUCH less than
with any other class.

Why not encourage that here in the USA!
