A new direction for an old thread: Crosswind landings

OK I'll take the bait.
Just how does one deal with a crosswind in a 25m ship?

I can't tell you what "one" does. But I know what I do: I simply crab
into the roundout and then use the rudder to align, carefully keeping
the wings level with the ailerons. Inertia combined with the slippery
fuselage is plenty enough to hold the glider on track during the short
flare. In fact, I never even thought of not keeping the wings level near
the ground, even in a 15 meter glider.
