A quick look at the N# registry (I know its an imperfect snapshot at
times) shows:

ASW-20 (all models) @135
ASW-27/29 @117
Std Libelle @108
Ventus @95
Discus @90
Ventus 2 @80
Std Citrrus @80

I was a bit shocked at the low numbers of some types of gliders here
in the U.S.

C'mon, guys, you're overlooking the obvious. From the same source, all
models of the 1-26:

521

Of course, it's a snailplane, not a sailplane, but still . . .

Mea Culpa. I LOVE the 1-26 as a sailplane. However, I made a biased
assumption...
