Glider Handling on Tow

A question for any aerodynamicists out the why does low aero tow speed adversely affect the handling of a glider so drastically? -John, Q3 Is it Winter already? This is one of those frequent threads (along with gelcoat maintenance, is the PW-5 the spawn of Satan, and the Downwind Turn) that come up every few years. As recently as two winters ago it was "Aerodynamics of Towing". If you search on some combination of "aerodynamics" and "tow" or "aerowtow" you'll see at least three primary generations of the thread.
