Condor Racing
The task for the Friday racers was selected by Dan Hender, it was a CondorWorld Power race in Slovenia of 71kms. Stewart did the briefing for the first exploratory run with John Borland joining for the first time, 8 pilots in total lined up.
For the first run we were all in 15m Diana loaded with water with Stewart showing the way for jumping across the ridge to the first turnpoint. There was a short into wind leg through some sink but after the 2nd turnpoint the ridge helped so it was just a judgement on the speed to make the 3rd turnpoint and back to the finish.
For the second run, Dan had joined us in his JS3-15 and Stewart ended up spectating and coaching. Pete took over the Team Harmer's glider from Jill. Along with the other regulars of Chris, DC (in VR for the first time), Simon, Geoff, David Cot were all more than 2 minutes slower than Dan's racing speed around the course. Another one of those tasks to try again to improve the performance. - J&P
