Edited to add a Tiny URL http://tinyurl.com/c9kytk4 because PPRuNE hates B l o g s p o t (and F a c e b o o k and L a n d r o v e r s). Why is that?
And they also break their own rules by insulting me. Childish behaviour.

At 5pm Swansea Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre were called by a glider pilot reporting that he had ditched his 15 meter glider 1 nautical mile west of Porlock, Somerset.
The glider pilot was uninjured and managed to swim 15 meters to shore. His fibreglass glider has sunk and vessels in the area are being advised to be aware of any possible drifting debris.
Minehead Coastguard Rescue Team went to the scene to offer assistance to the pilot.
The pilot reported that his tail hit the water first and he flipped over and went in to the water upside down. He allowed the cabin to fill with water before he hit the release button. This allowed him to float to the surface. The pilot had a lifejacket.
Interesting that he was wearing a lifejacket. A safety precaution when ridge-soaring the cliffs perhaps?
