The first club I belonged to was on the top of a hill that is along the same latitude as Harris Hill in Elmira, NY (National Soaring Museum) and you can usually count on a good wind from the west. I got used to having wind to land into and I still find it easier to fly with some rather than none.
The Ugly Stik mentioned above is another good windy day model. I'd probably still be flying mine except for my one mid-air.
The S/K-50 did well but that big rudder did tend to weather-vane it a bit. But it was nicely predictable and a good flier (why do they always discontinue the good ones?)
And a similar well behaved shoulder wing is the Saratoga 40 (also discontinued!)
Good choices mentioned earlier: Giant Super Sportster & Contender.
