Very sorry to hear that. I thought modern high performance gliders were unspinnable? I haven't poled a glider for some 10 years now but the glass ships I finished up on were bulletproof unless you really wanted to bend them. The only gliders I could ever get to spin were a K13 and K8 and then with some difficulty.
