Ditching a plane???

Assuming an aircraft with landing gear stuck down or with no retractable gear.. and the only thing left possible to do is to ditch it in the sea (calm sea?). Which do you think is the best-safest way of doing it?

In many discussions people often talk about a possible flip-over because of the gear down .. So being close to Vso when hiting the water ( lucky us flaps are still working! ) is I suppose one correct thing to do but I m not 100% sure.. hmm ..???
