A new direction for an old thread: Crosswind landings

And landing gears are way too expensive...
Here's the method I like and use most:
Slip to control crosswind, and about 6 feet high, wings level, start the
flare. No time for the glider to accumulate enough lateral speed (refering
to the centerline) to be a problem.
If a student (or any pilot) is not comfortable with the techniques needed to
make a safe landing in crosswinds... don't fly that day!

Of course teaching "crabbed landing" means teaching a crab during final
into
the flare, and then a last second slip. Litteral crabbed landing would be
way too expensive.
