National Gliding Championships Taupo 2020

Taupo, New Zealand,   2 February 2020 – 15 February 2020

Task 8 - 13th Feb.

Oooh - the 13th! Lucky for some, but bad news for others!

Again an "iffy" day, but a launch was begun about 1315 and away we went, chasing five big circles in the sky.

Most would admit it was hard work, but what it did do was show the men up from the boys. The "guns" got around in style, and the mere mortals landed out. It must be noted, though, that these are the first real landouts we've had all tournament, and also noted that all were on good farm strips. Well done you guys.

Now take a peek at the results. Intruiging, isn't it. With two days to go, the National Championship is still pretty much up for grabs between the top three or four in each class. 

Go you good things!
