Narrative:
Preparing to land runway 8 at dillingham airfield, hi. Crossing runway at 700 ft over the designated 'ip,' another sailplane cut into the pattern in front of me. I widened my pattern and slowed to increase spacing, extended downwind and saw the other glider had the runway made. Turned in to land. Other glider had not rolled very far off the runway. I made a normal landing and rolled out past the stopped glider. There was no danger of collision, but because the other glider had stopped closer to the runway than usual, there was less than normal clearance as I went by. I believe the other glider was a training flight. It appeared he got himself a little too low and slow, landing without enough energy to taxi clear of the runway.

Narrative: PREPARING TO LAND RWY 8 AT DILLINGHAM AIRFIELD, HI. XING RWY AT 700 FT OVER THE DESIGNATED 'IP,' ANOTHER SAILPLANE CUT INTO THE PATTERN IN FRONT OF ME. I WIDENED MY PATTERN AND SLOWED TO INCREASE SPACING, EXTENDED DOWNWIND AND SAW THE OTHER GLIDER HAD THE RWY MADE. TURNED IN TO LAND. OTHER GLIDER HAD NOT ROLLED VERY FAR OFF THE RWY. I MADE A NORMAL LNDG AND ROLLED OUT PAST THE STOPPED GLIDER. THERE WAS NO DANGER OF COLLISION, BUT BECAUSE THE OTHER GLIDER HAD STOPPED CLOSER TO THE RWY THAN USUAL, THERE WAS LESS THAN NORMAL CLRNC AS I WENT BY. I BELIEVE THE OTHER GLIDER WAS A TRAINING FLT. IT APPEARED HE GOT HIMSELF A LITTLE TOO LOW AND SLOW, LNDG WITHOUT ENOUGH ENERGY TO TAXI CLR OF THE RWY.
