Thinking about purchasing a club class glider for next year (can't afford a
JS1 or ASG29). I know Std Cirri seem to be popular, but notice G Dale has
bought a DG100 or 101 and won the UK Nationals in it -just wondered which
would be the best for club class competition and what the pro's and con's
would be of the following:-

Std Cirrus, 75 or 81 ?

ASW19/19B

ASW15B

LSIF

DG100/101

Std Jantar 2/3

Glasflugel Std Libelle

Glasflugel Hornet

Pegase

I'll have about £15k max to spend.

It's the one with the nicest trailer and best finish, in that order.

Seriously.

The whole point of handicapped racing is to equalize the gliders. Any
glider that suddenly starts winning every race is going to get a new
handicap - and will probably end up at the bottom of the list for a
while.

More important to get a nice glider that you will enjoy flying, IMHO.

Then race the bejeezus out of it!!!
