Default "Hands off" decent from altitude with spoilers?

I was taught during wave training that all sailplanes, properly trimmed, when
you let go of the controls, will seek a gentle banked circle to one direction
and maintain that attitude, even in light turbulence.

There must be great variation from one a/c to the next with varied CG and trim
settings.

What experiences have others had and with which makes and models?

Thanks,

Michael
