## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

WHILE ABORTING AN ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF, THE GLIDER GROUND LOOPED.  THE AIRPORT HAS A TURF RUNWAY.  THE PILOT STATED THAT THE GROUND WAS SOFT AND THE GRASS WAS LONG WHICH KEPT THE AIRCRAFT FROM REACHING ROTATIONAL SPEED IN ENOUGH  TIME TO EXECUTE A TAKE OFF.  HE ABORTED THE TAKE OFF LATER THAN HE SHOULD HAVE AND OVERRAN THE RUNWAY, THEN GROUND LOOPED AFTER DEPARTING THE END OF THE  RUNWAY.
