After some debate the task was revised to the NE goal some 60km away.
We used the lower launch which proved to be really messy and side-on requiring multiple launch attempts from many pilots with the customary hoist-off-your-feet and flapping bundles of glider on launch. A capped speed run was the order of the day, but in the end it was a bit of a cluster with four pilots managing to punch through the 40km/h cross-wind to goal and the rest spread over the course line with 35 or so in the last 10km before goal. A long retrieve saw us home before 8pm. This task turned into a discard for most pilots.

do you have to decide on the day that it is your discard day?
No, there are a maximum of two discards for the competition the second of which is activated after the sixth 1000pt task.
