Pre worlds days 2 and 3
First I'm happy to see that the forum brings some interest from outside and maybe will bring some more pilots to our small cummunity. Hagai - you also have mistakes and no one cares, take for example "you wright" - while you should write "right", but as I said no one cares. About the "hatayot" in Hebrew - it's really unforgiven and a very common problem To the point: There was a task of 182 km after Ilan's glider was tuned by Kraig Coomber - Ilan felt much better and you could even see it from the first second of towing. He was flying 30 minutes ahead of the leaders gugle and might have got a very good score (maybe even within the first 10) unless he felt just too good to leave his last thermal that was a zero at 600 meters 8 km before goal and to land first or second at the goal. He had to cross a small forest and he couldn't say if he's gonna make it (he doesn't use final glide computer) so he turned back and landed 4 km short. At the beginning I thought he is joking me since he had such a fast time and I was so happy he is going to make a personal best record. Only as I got there I started to believe when he gave me his cordinates while I see 30 gliders gliding fast above my head and landing in the goal. Angelo who was an hour late and almost landed four times made it to goal. Steve was also there of course. Yesterday the task was unbelivable - 242 km with No comulus but only cirrus clouds, inversion at 1700m and 32 degrees on the ground. 37 made it but Ilan landed 176 km short probably because he distracted by an eagle that flew close to him. Angelo landed 7 km short and Steve of course... made it. It is really not a good deal to take such a good pilots with us - since then we come back home not before 23 oclock. Yesterday it was 00.30. Today looked promissing until a strong gust came and flipped few gliders. The troff was heading towards us and the wind became stronger so after they sent a tag up the saftey committee decided to cancell the day.

Good luck champions, I'm sure you can get to the goal first, at least once...
