Participating in Contests

For a big number of contest pilots, no matter what glider
they are flying and in what Class, the Contests are about one thing
and only: It’s the only way they can fly Cross Country. With a few
noble exceptions, most of our Clubs do not provide the structure
conductive to daily Cross Country. If you are unable to create such
support by yourself, you simply do not fly serious Cross Country. For
most of us, going to Contests is the only way to secure all
necessary logistics and material support . We are willing and we do
pay for the privilege. Let’s make those Contests as accommodating and
inclusive as possible. Please. Thank you.
