I have seen it in a flight manual - possibly the Jantar manual

Subject: [aus-soaring] Ditching a glider
Can anyone shed some light onto the correct procedure for
ditching a glider into water. Not that I plan to, it is just that a debate arose
at my club as to the correct procedure with regards to,
Should the wheel be up or down and WHY?
Should you land in shallow water close to the shore or deep water
and swim for it?
Will the glider float or sink?
Will the glider nose into the water upon touching the water?
Do some Flight Manuals give procedures for this as I have heard
that in Europe ditching into a lake is a preferred option to the forest?
