Default Thermalling Primary Gliders

I'm interested to know if primary gliders were capable of soaring flights or if they only flew short hops.

The SG 38, for example, has a sink rate of 1.3 m/s so in theory it's possible. I'd be very interested to hear of any stories about soaring one of these gliders.
