Ein kleines Schweizer Team ist in Australien:
Patrick Von Känel
Chris Banford
Phil Glutz
Gabriela Mettler

Patrick erflog den hervorragenden 7. Rang an diesem schwierigen ersten Task!

Hier die offizielle Mitteilung:
Today we went to Gundowring launch 1.5 hours northeast of Bright. Getting everyone off was difficult as the wind switched round unexpectedly for long periods of time.

Today’s task was an 88 km zig-zag course up and down the valley with two turn points.

With Patrick Von Kanel flying an Advance RFC (ready for certification) Omega Comp glider and Felipe Rezende flying Flow Paraglider's new XCRacer, an EN D 2 liner, there was lots to watch.

This comp has got a star-studded cast from all around the globe so today was an interesting combination of local knowledge versus international experience racing around the valley.

Honorin Hamard and Jurij Vidic pulled away from the rest half way round the course. They continued to leapfrog each other with Honorin finally winning by 1min 30 seconds.

After a difficult start to the day, we had 94 happy pilots in goal.
