Skytype Mk1

OK the glider is a Skytype Mk1, there are no thermals etc., the best glide speed is quoted as 60 knots, you fly either 5 knots faster or slower than this.
Does the 5 knots either way increase or decrease your ability to get back to base for a landing assuming that the distance is at the optimum?
