Would you rather fly a Sailplane?

The funny thing is that the hang glider folks have the same issues
with greying of the membership. So do the sailboat racers.

The paraglider's seem to be a bit more youth oriented, not sure why.

You can convert most paraglider pilots to sailplanes by giving them a
winch launch.

If you want to attract large numbers of young people, winch launch is
the key. It's so much more fun and so much less expensive than aero
tow, they can see themselves becoming glider pilots.
