NOTES:

  1. These records are the official records of the Manitoba Soaring Council archives with the exception of two entries which have been fully authenticated and included herein.
  2. "N.C" indicates no claim has been made to this date (21 October 2025).
  3. Many of these records were assessed and approved using methods now obsolete, requiring for example, on board cameras to photograph declared turn points which would later be scrutinized by an Official Observer.
  4. With the advent of the Online Gliding Contest or similar variants, verification of records is far easier than in the past.
