Analysis of basic requirements for maximum performance in thermal soaring; aerodynamic considerations; estimation of structure weights and performance trends; sail-plane does not necessarily lose anything from being on heavy side; best results in all conditions can be obtained by aiming for light design and providing for water ballast for use in good soaring conditions.
