And the 15 m. winners
36th World Gliding Championships Montluçon-Guéret – France 2021 has added 3 new pictures to the album Day 7 – 14 août.
Saturday August 14 ;
Task 7…flying day 5 for club and 4 for Standard and 15 m.
Clearly better weather, a bit more French!!! So “work” to do.
By the way I noticed a nice video on you tube about the accommodation from the German team in France, NO not at the camping or a B&B or motel , but in a real CASTLE, with it’s own runway and an military aircraft wreck. NOT TOO BAD!!!!
The briefing was not flawless, I read.
“The airspace briefing was a total disaster, with an incomplete airspace file and 2 changes within 30 minutes after the briefing ended. Anyway, launching is scheduled for 13h00 and it looks like we will start as foreseen for the first time. The forecast was blue thermals around Montlucon and cumulus clouds in the north, but clouds are already forming overhead the airfield. So, better than forecast, nice! It looks to be a very good day with nice tasks!” Belgian Gliding Team. They are very GOOD in informing us on a frequent base. Good on them!!!!
There are 2 ladies performing in this WGC. Sarah from the USA and Diana from Luxembourg.
Day 1 | 8 août.
Picture from the 2021 WGC Montlucon Album.
Club class; 3.30 AAT...The clouds disappeared earlier than thought so a pretty difficult day again and a challenging last leg .
Darius Gudziunas won the day in his ASW ….not TOO BAD as it was 1000 points-day! He flew 339 km. in time 3.41 and was the only pilot with a speed over 90 km./h
Again some warning points entering the finish ring. I checked the height and it is 300 m AGL and 700 MSL.
Robin found on final glide a thermal up to 1600 m so it was a good final glide and day for him; 3d spot for today!!!
Standard class; 3 hour AAT...Norbert Scarlat from Romania flew his Discus 2a over 308 km. in time 3.30.
Only 1 from 29 out, so a good day, specially for a few who had to outland a few times.
A good day but also a tricky day though there were cloud streets with thermals from 2.5/3 m. p.s. in the West up to 1600 m. BUT,…. the best weather till now according to Jacek Flis from Poland. ]5th for the day]
15 m. class; 3 hour AAT...Good day for the Dutch again. Frequent WGC pilot Jeroen Verkuijl was runner up behind Czech top pilot Roman Mracek.
4 JS 3 gliders in the top 4 as Dutch mate Hadriaan was on 4 and Czech mate Karel Novak on 3.
Hadriaan had a very early start as he noticed how the clouds more and more disappeared. He found Robin [club class] on his way and for a while they flew together and helped each other. With lift up to 1200/1300 m. they could finish rather easily.
3 out in this class. No warnings but penalties for the finish height for 5 pilots amongst them Laurent, Sebastian and Lucasz who started and finished [too low] together and were on a daily spot 19,20 and 21. Moving from 1/2 to 5/6 overall.
Max Seiss had no penalty points but must have had a tough “ride” he had the longest flight of the day;4.21.56. Pretty unusual for him.
Mind you all scores from today are preliminary.
More news when there is more!
International night tomorrow, good weather as well…they say.
Cheers Ritz
