I think your claimed demise of the 15m class might be a bit premature.
It is still the most popular class in the US and 2nd most popular in
all of the recent World/European championships.

mmm, that=B4s wise foresee means that in a five years
time i will be able to
get a 15m racing class ship(e.g. an ASW-27) for free?



No, unfortunately, for the same reasons you won't get
any ex competition type sailplane for free!

All major European manufacturers are making 18m class
ships (I believe DG are not making a 15m version of
the LS10 now? -at least according to their west coast
US agent)

Performance differences between Std and 15M class in
European conditions are fairly small - the writings
on the wall and been there a while.
