Towing Sites Tow Launching Towing near Delisle, SK Light and variable winds up to 25 mph are suitable for tow launching.
Gliders launch from behind a vehicle fitted with a payout winch.
In light winds pilots stay in the area catching the thermals or might fly to a goal and return to the point of take-off. When the wind is over 15 mph they generally try for cross country flights. Spectators wanting to see thermal soaring should pick a day with light and variable winds when the gliders stay within view. When winds are stronger, the gliders tend to drift with the thermals and soon fade out of sight on their way cross country. Some winter towing is possible if the snow is not deep and the temperature is above -15.
