The Saltby Open, 2018 results
Unusually for Saltby we had an excellent forecast for both competition days, and on the Friday the weather behaved exactly as forecast making the CD Job simple and giving a good day of flying completing the first sequence.
Early results had the some spectacular scores with Joel Hallewell at advanced getting 86.3% which I think is the highest we have had at a glider contest. Dietmar Poll made an unusual error having a tail slide go wrong leaving Joel in the lead with two sports pilots Alistar Cunningham and Julias in close pursuit.
Saturday forecast was good but the real world was not quite so co-operative with cloud base not rising as forecast. We started by flying all the club class flights then splits until the cloud got to 4000’ at around 14:00. A long day for the Judges with no break but we had all the flights completed by17:00 to complete the contest.
Joel managed to fly another very high scoring flight to confirm the win with an overall score of 84% for the two Advanced Unknowns, narrowly beating his instructor Paul Conran into second place with 82%.
Overall the contest was very high scoring needing over 70% to get above 10 th place. The advanced team is off to the Worlds next week and hopefully can replicate great performance there.
As always the hospitality and facilities at Saltby were faultless with everything from the catering to the flight facilities being excellent. Thanks to CFI John Sentence and all of his team and the tug pilots, catering and admin staff at Saltby that made this a great competition.
