Task 6 - 70km

Benjamin Fankhauser 26. August 2025 German Open 2025 - Saint Andre les Alpes
Text by Alfredo.

Lower cloud base, blue thermals and 20+ km/h from the North West, the task was challenging. Still the group managed to fly fast. The leading gaggle arrived 1h and 37m after the start, flying at around 41 km/h and only 66 pilots made it to goal.

Dynamic wind offered good lines close to the ground and +4 m/s thermals were found on the peak of the mountains. But close to the ground was sometimes a little bit flat, with trees and little places to land, so it was necessary to trust that it would work. ;-)

We flew mostly to the south, allowing us to discover new terrains.

Final Rankings:
Alfredo Zingg - 10.
Benjamin Fankhauser - 43.
Soner Yorgun - 60.
Joel Fuchs - 63.
Gernot Seitz - 93.
