We are more than happy for our CEO Tilo Holighaus. After six competition days in La Cerdanya/ Spain he stood up to the multiple World Champion Sebastian Kawa (2nd) and the French Louis Bouderlique (3rd) and lifted the title!
With his strikingly independent way to fly, combined with his big experience, he managed to get ahead of the competition a little more every day. More than any of the other pilots he relied on his own skills as well as the skills of his Ventus-3 and was rewarded with top positions on 5 of 6 days - a great performance!
"I love this glider. The Ventus, with it's sensitive feeling for thermal, reliably shows me the maximum climb and best energy lines", says Tilo and further: "The certainty of superior climb and maximum gliding potential gives you the possibility to consequently follow through with your decisions and with a little fortune, this will lead to success. I am happy that I was able to fly this great glider - without it I doubt I would have managed to win against these excellent competitors. Many thanks to all our Schempp-Hirth team! Their effort makes them all part of this success."
