Orca attacks on sailboats off the Strait of Gibraltar and the Iberian Peninsula continue.
Janet Morris and Stephen Bidwell from Cambridge told The Sunday Times that on May 2, on the second day of training for their week-long sailing course off the coast of Morocco, they were attacked by a pod of orcas that bumped the hull and damaged the rudder and steering system of the 46-foot Bavaria yacht. Fortunately, no one was injured and the boat returned to port safely.
The Maritime Executive reports about a similar attack in early March. The crew of the sailboat Larios made a distress call and reported that their vessel was disabled off Cape Spartel, Morocco. They had come into contact with three orcas and had lost their rudder. Salvamar Maritimo dispatched the rescue boat Salvamar Arcturus from the port of Tarifa to give them assistance, and the Arcturus towed them all the way to Barbate for repairs.
