SAFA Skysailor Magazine

26 SKY SAILOR November | December 2022 Joel Price took out Elite Class Open Division with 1975 points, Fraser Sabine won Elite Class, Novice Division with 2350 points and also got King of the Hill with a fastest ascent time of 42 minutes. Everyone was left with big smiles and aching legs. Full results can be found on the SkyOut blog Thanks to 777 Gliders, Cross Country Magazine and Powerade for sponsorship and prizes. After an hour or so, the wind moderated and a steady procession of wings launched into the spring sky. The wind still made the glide down happen at a leisurely pace, and some opted for the speed-bar/big-ear combination to get the job done, whilst most chose to enjoy the view of the fabulous Australian countryside nourished by two wet seasons in a row. Landing on the target was commonplace in the gentle lakeside breeze with advice for the less experienced, high fives and then cold Powerade all round. As the sun set over the lake, trophies were presented and thanks given for an incident-free, full day of fun competition.
