Anyone know the details on this one?

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.



We were just wondering what type of glider it is / was... Schempp
Hirth is obvious...Nimbus or Ventus c?


Shown as Ventus 16.6 mÂ* on OLC.Â* Poor guy got a file invalid error. When
it rains it pours.


IGC file calls it a Ventus B. But what difference, at this point, does
it make?

Security records were missing at the tail end of the file.
