I've sold my old glider and now I'm in the market for a new one. This time
I'm going the single-place route.

There seems to be a sweet spot in the price/performance curve when looking
at the older open class gliders like the Open Cirrus, Jantar 2 (A or B), LAK
12 etc... I haven't ruled out 15 meter gliders but I'm never going to
compete in anything more than Sports Class. I just want the performance to
get home from the high country in Colorado.

Any thoughts?

A one man rigging kit. No seriously. When I was looking earlier this
year my list included these, but the weight of the wings was a big
deterrent (I suspect a Lark is no lightweight though).
A nice trailer, especially if you're getting a big ship.
Mosquitoes, Mini Nimbi, and ASW-19s are in the same price range, they
don't have those long legs though. I got a Mosquito.
There's a discussion along these line on www.GliderForum.com
