You might try the rec.aviation.soaring list, it is kind of known as "the list".

Thanks for the replies. I am fairly new to gliding.Started 33 years ago but then bought a Stinson 108-3. Now no medical. I am working toward my private glider--getting the rust out. I would like to continue with the possible purchase of a used-but-good 2-seater. I have a lady friend who does para-sailingbut would prefer her inside! I have noticed the IS-28b2 and also ASK-21. Both have certain attributes I believe would suit my requirements. Would anyone care to comment on these and perhaps other 2-seaters? Thanks.

You'll need someone to ride with (preferably pretty) and several to help retrieve occasionally. Buy beer, make friends, get a good trailer. My favorite is the Grob 103. A reasonably priced two seater just doesn't get much better than this.

See what google says about these. If you want a good glider, build a Woodstock, they'll put a 1-26 to shame. I'm not a fan of Marske's designs but to be fair I'd not suggest the Maupin Windrose either. If you want to build a composite ship, you're a bit out of luck right now. I'd suggest rebuilding a 70's -80's fast glass machine. Plenty of work to do and you can find them cheap if you look.
