I think you will find most fiberglass gliders sink as well. The foam gets
water logged. We had 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!!!

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?
