Contest Day 3 has started, with gliders doing an area task of 200-500km. Weather was forecast to be cool and blue, with strong south to south-westerly winds.
A westerly wind change didn\'t happen as predicted. Instead the wind strengthened from the south and caused problems during the launch because of strong crosswinds. Standard and 18 Metre were launched on a 3 hour task, and 15 Metre were regridded and launched on a 2 hour task. Open Class, who were at the rear of the grid, were cancelled because there was not enough time for them to do the task.
