Anyone know the details on this one? https://www.ktvn.com/story/42569923/...sfF77uFRVjz5Vw E5 reports the water is cold. He is fine, boat ramp retrieval of glider which had only minor superficial damage though everything is wet. Crash landing and rescue is a misnomer, just an outlanding on a rather soggy site with paddle board transport of pilot.

Schempp Hirth is obvious...Nimbus or Ventus c?

But what difference, at this point, does it make? Security records were missing at the tail end of the file.

There is little apparent damage to the glider, looks like it could have flown the next day if the instruments could be dried out. Many outlandings in fields have resulted in far more damage.
