I owned and flew the 209 size for a few years in the late 70's until 1981. It had very light handling even near stall. You could slow this thing way down and have exceptional control when scratch soaring next to a mountain. An absolute joy to fly because you could always nail the best parts of a thermal and climb to the best of your ability. It was tail heavy on launch but landed easy.

Flew a 229 in early 80's...after few lessons on Seagulls, purchased and flew Raven in novice config.. then after comfortable with turns, flew standard config... much more manageable... I weighed 195lb and it handled pretty well, little stiff, but easy to land, would almost parachute...
excellent stall recovery, saved my butt more than once... a big floater for most part, not great penetration, could get as high as any doubles, but hang it up when wind over 20...I never looped it but had a crazy friend that did...after flying for a year or so tightened sail tension too max for better penetration, it helped.... was a good sturdy single surface, and gained reputation for tandem glider....
used flat foam core fiberglass battens with couple aluminum tube tips battens, and one AL tube, neg washout stop, near tips...
finally sold it in mid 80's, wished still had it now....
