This is terrifying! I never thought orcas would attack a boat like this. Hope the captain is safe.
Actually, there have been several incidents off Spain recently. It seems the whales are playing with the boats for fun, not hunting.
Is it possible the rudder just broke due to old age and they hit it by accident? Seems unlikely but possible.
I’ve been sailing there for years. The whales are usually shy. This aggression is completely out of character and very worrying.
Imagine losing your steering in open water. That’s every sailor’s worst nightmare. Glad he made it back to port alive.
