What an event! We were able to race three tasks out of five days. Tonio (Antoine
Boisellier) won the Championship by being very consistent and flying a very nice
third task which was won by Alessandro Ploner while Christian Chiech landed not
far from B1!

The third task was a 95K epic task. Thermals so strong at take off that Primoz
and I spiral together for only a couple minutes before reaching cloud base. A
pilot threw his reserve and finished in the trees on his way back from B1 I
think. I heard he was retrieved without a scratch by the Rega (Swiss emergency
unit) Chopper much later.

I landed just before the first turn point because of the rain. Primoz and
Francoise landed in the same field a bit later on their way back from B1. Sadly
my Compeo record an 18 Hours flight and I get no points for this task. Peter
from Flytec took my vario away to get it fixed.

The Stans area really is beautiful with all the lakes and valleys. The scenery
is very 'Heidi like' but the aerology was extremely difficult to comprehend for
a young pilot like me.

It was my first major international meet. Most of the European champions were
there and it was very impressive, especially the start of the last task with
about 100 gliders at cloud base all heading towards the first turnpoint (about
25Kms away). I was a bit behind the front pack and the scene reminded me of the
attack of the death star in star wars.

The pilot who threw his chute was Marcello Ciarlo, Italian pilot.
Over the take off area he was sucked up into a cloud, then tumbled his Laminar.
He threw his parachute and landed the ground in a terrible place. Uninjured, he
was rescued by the helicopter. The glider was left up there.
