11WORLD GLIDING CHAMPIONSHIPS probably give greater distances, but at the price of long retrieves which were never the intentioo. When, quite late, pilots called in it was Lopitaux and Uerm who had once again beaten the field, with 711.5km and 701' .8km respectively; followed by Schramme at 685 and Lynskey at 678.3km. It was Ingo's bad day. He Ililade only 16th plaoe and 564.5km. The first penalty points were given on this day; a few for photo problems, but Ronald Tabery, USA (Nimbus 3), was docked 1/3 of his score for failing to call in after outlanding, so that worried organisers contacted the rescue services. Andy was again top in the Standard Class and Justln won the 15 Metre. <strong>No</strong>w the small curnulus and big tasks were making a good team. On May 24, Day 7, the 15 Metre Class hada cat'scradle while the other two flew triangles. Cloudbase fOse to, 10000ft thermals were up t09kt and Ray Gimmey, USA (Nimbus 3) who came last on May 22' came 1st in the Open Class with a speed of 129.8kmlh. Ingo Renner bounced back to beat Lopitaux and Uerm, and Andy D.avis again came ,top in the Standard Class. Justin won the 15 Metre with 688.4km. The two Czech pilots, Stepanek and Cerny (Ventus iBs), flying the eat's cradle reckoned' that conditions could be good for an evening katabatic flow along the middle of the valley. They found il <strong>40</strong>km out at 1600f1 and used it to return to WN, having, taken their end-of-task photo at Kaofenburg. They landed at 2035. May 25, Oay 8, andlthe first signs of weakening of the high pressure. Hermann warned of thunderstorms, but in the far west of Austria. With the Standard Class taking, its turn for eat's cradle, the others had .big triangles. Winds were again lighl SE. Chris Gar10n flew the fastest 15 Metre speed using cloud streets at 120.3km/h, and the C0mputer scorers who bet on these things were less than one minute wrong in his time. Justin ~as also fast at 15.3kmlh, putting him only 28pts behind Bruno, but the Open winner for the day was clearly Ingo at 127.9km/h, beating L1erm's 123.5. Again it was a wait for cat's cradle repor1s, but it was Andy again, top with 652.3km. Aboulin flew only 542.3km. And so to the penultimate task in genllydeclining weather.
