My best has been 27 minutes, 31 seconds. Lots of that was boost and glide, 
though. Slow Sticks thermal suprisingly well, but then I'm in Texas and in 
July the thermals could keep a school bus in the air for half an hour.

Interesting and eerie. I have a Prelude wing that looks exactly like that. 
White with red/white checkerboard on the left tip.
