Open Thermal #3 24 Nov 2014
After terrible weather the previous Sunday, the 24th November proved to be a fantastic backup day for our competition. Fine, mostly sunny and with light to moderate winds.
The forecast wind direction was from south through to south west. Of course it was nothing like that. We had mainly easterly winds with a smattering of everything else. Thermals were sometimes elusive and sink cycles could be long lasting. To make things even more interesting the wind direction or strength (or both) could vary dramatically in the last minute before landing. Overall, perfect competition soaring weather where everybody lost some points due to the conditions. One pilot dropped out after five rounds due to some minor landing damage.
After seven rounds flown we had
1 Jim Houdalakis (6910.7)
2 Gerry Carter (6822.6)
3 David Pratley (6819.6)
