Interesting, I have owned my Ventus B for 20 years and although I am not competitive with current production models in FAI class comps, I have only entered FAI 15 meter comps. And always getting my butt handed to me 😠Being included in club class I would consider competing in that class if for no other reason to see if it's me or the ship, even though I already know that answer. Now if only participation in the West would rise to the point that we could have Club class contests.


Hobbs this summer!

Default US club class definition

What is needed internationally is a two class Club Class A and B - for
higher and lower performing 'obsolescent' ships - would be far better
than the ill thought out 13.5 m class - which is now producing mini-
15m class ships, costing 100k or more.
Maybe something like Ka6e to Asw19b -class A, LS4 to Ventus/LS6 -
class B ?

Don't see why it should be a span limited class either. Should be based
on handicap. - let in the Kestrels, Open Cirri ect.

Ka6e's, SHK's and Open Cirrus's have all flown in UK Club Class
Nationals before.
