The Chabre Open continues to resemble a pop concert in at least one respect, with 130 pilots registered and paid in less than 7 minutes for 2016. The Ozone Chabre Open is a friendly, stress-free cross country competition format with an emphasis on achievable tasks for pilots of intermediate levels.
The 2016 event will use a new pilot/wing classification based on glider aspect ratio. This allows the EN B class to be split – it previously would have contained everything from a Mojo to a Carrera+. The new aspect ratio class yields more prizes and we hope will be more fair. The structure will be as follows:
There will be four glider Classes: Fun, Recreation, Sport, and X-Class. In addition, a Rookie class and a Women’s class.
Fun – EN B or below and AR equal to or less than 5.2
Recreation – EN B or below and AR equal to or less than 5.7, but greater than 5.2
Sport – EN C or below and AR equal to or less than 6.3, but greater than 5.7
X-Class – EN D or below and AR greater than 6.3
We fully support this new system and are eager to hear the results and feedback from participating pilots. …read more
