Flaps may impede your exit from a high wing aircraft. They will allow slower landing speeds.

SPEED – with powerBest Glide – until with ~ 100 feet of the surface
5 – 10 knots above power-off stall speed
SPEED – without power Increase speed – trade airspeed for altitude if required
SPEED – multiengine with engine outUse small amount of power and increase speed slightly to increase handling
Use less flap setting

Ditch parallel to the major swell
Land on top of the swell or in the trough
Use 5 to 10 knots above power-off stall for touchdown
Level wings relative to the sea surface (not the horizon)
Remove crab angle prior to touch down
Avoid the face of the swell
Use soft field landing technique

Train yourself:
1. Practice egressing your aircraft blindfolded
2. Practice unlatching the seat belt & opening the door with one hand
3. Seek egress training through commercially procure sources (your insurance company can help here)
4. Practice identifying wind and swell direction
5. Create your own personal ditching checklist
