Dont gliders float anyway?
I was under the impression that most gliders float on water, albeit with the canopy too far below to breathe, due to the wing structures. Am I wrong there? Bagger

River retrieve
I think you will find most fiberglass gliders sink as well. The foam gets
water logged. We has and ASW 27 land in water at our contest a few years back. Pilot reported that in about 15 minutes, the 27 did it's best imitation of the Titanic........his words!!!
