Aren't pretty much all 18m gliders convertible into either 15 or 21m? Except for early JS-1A and ASH-26E? So I think the argument could be made that owners of top of the line 18m gliders already have gliders that are eligible for records in the established classes

If were gonna rei-engineer records, Id rather redo all the records according to L/D. Lets say 3 groups: under 28/1, 29-40, above 40 etc. The wingspan don’t mean much when comparing most ships nowadays. A minilak at 13..5 meters can outfly an 18 m open cirrus. And lumping that same mini lak in with a 1-26 isn’t right either lol.
