New Zealand 300 Km out and return record broken

On the 7th November Canterbury Gliding Club member (and GNZ Executive officer) Max Stevens set a new New Zealand 300 km Out and Return Speed record of 200.6 kph. The previous record was held by fellow Canterbury member Peter Chadwick.Max’ task started at 16,500 feet over Glentanner (near Aoraki/ Mt Cook). He reached his turn point at Clyde at 15,000 feet, dodged lots of cloud on his way back to Glentanner and arrived at 15,300 feet. What a run. Congratulations Max.
