While she apparently just missed the open distance record, she seems to have
surpassed Corinna's newly declared distance to goal record of 405.83 km. Both
Corinna's and Sahsa's record flights have been so close to the previous records
(not Corinna's distance to goal record) that it is hard to say for certain that
they will be homologated by FAI/CIVL as new records. Sasha writes:
Yes, we declared 407.8 km. I made an idiotic mistake by not towing
a bit further upwind to make the open longer, was fixed too much on the declared
task. Apart from that we will claim free distance over up to 3 turnpoints, which will
be about 419 km.
