There have been numerous reports of Orcas attacking yachts this season and nobody really knows why.
In this video we experience 2 hours of harassment from a pod of orcas off the coast of Porto.
The film was taken on October 4th during the yacht delivery of a new Lagoon 450 from Les Sables to Gibraltar.
The music is "Russian River" by Dan Henig.

I remember as a child going out salmon fishing with fishing in a 14ft aluminum boat with my father and uncle. A pod of Orcas came around the point and came right at us. A big male came so close that my father could have reached over and touched his dorsal fin. It was at least twice as long as the boat. A couple swam right under us, and a few others breached 30m away. We stopped and they swam around, so started up again and they just swam along with us for a couple of minutes then wandered off after the salmon. It was one of the most amazing events of my young life at the time. and never felt afraid. Years later my father told me that it was one of scariest moments of his life given that we called them Killer Whales at the time.

Somewhere back in the mists of time it got switched to Killer Whales from Whale Killers. The whaling ships hated orca because orca would interfere with their hunt. AFAIK there isn't a recorded death by wild orca ever. It's the captive orca you need to worry about.

actually i heard it is because of the fisherboats which are fighting with the orcas for the red tuna there, as a result they manifested this behavior. They even know how to damage specifically the rudder so it can`t move anymore and since they can`t attack the big fishing trawlers (they would hurt themselves) they go for the smaller sailing boats

Their upside down posturing is a non threatening move. Better way to respond is to stop. Disengage -they think it's a game. They will lose interest quickly. I've spent hours in the water with these creatures and they deserve our respect. Believe me they know exactly what they are doing. If their intention was to attack/damage your yacht... you wouldn't have it anymore.

The crew was worried about the rudders because they would have had to be rescued. The cost wouldn't be ruinous. Most yatchies build and rebuild their own rudders on their own. In this case this is a company that delivers boats for a living. They would have si.ply ordered a new one, and they would have insurance to be able to sail the boat as they don't own it.

These are juvenile animals. An Orca's eyes are angled downward somewhat, to help the animal see what is beneath them. When they roll onto their backs they can get a better view of what is above them. This looks like a group of juveniles trying to play with something that doesn't understand their motives.

These attacks are all taking place off the Coast of Spain. So it is one pod, and scientists have noticed 2 of the Orcas that were attacking the boats were badly injured, most likely from propellers. Orcas are a generational learners, older ones will teach younger ones and so on. So these attacks are most likely a self defense mechanism against the encroachment of boaters into there environment after a number of injuries.

I dont think they are protecting the straight they are just starving. The more I look into that particular pod and that region it seems like a possibility that due to lack of normal food sources that pod has started seeing humans as a food source. Straights of Gibraltar during especially past 2 or 3 years has had many people crossing it packed on small rafts/boats, many of who go missing. Its just a theory but it would explain that pods behaviour. There seems to be a very strong narrative that Orcas never attack humans in the wild but due to overfishing of tuna in the region the Orcas are starving and with other readily and easily accessible food sources I just see it as a possibility that no one seems to be looking at.

Years ago, racing on a Sigma 36 in Portland Harbour, UK we had strange banging from underneath and the rudder was hit upwards repeatedly so hard from below that it lifted on its pivots each time and the stern rode up enough to feel it - then 4 dolphins surfaced around the boat - It was unnerving how strong the impacts were - they then swam with the boat for a while, doing barrel rolls in the wake behind and by the bow. I wondered if they were taking it in turns to scratch their backs with the rudder.

There is a good book written by a man and his wife, who were sailing across the Pacific when whales sunk their family boat. Afterwards they spent more than two months floating in their survival raft, living on fish and turtles, drinking water from the desalination machines they were smart to make sure were part of their survival gear. They were eventually picked up just as they were drifting close to the coast of Peru. Unfortunately I can't seem to remember the name of the book at the moment.

I sailed a FP Antigua 37 round the world. Back in the day ,we said Orcas, and whales generally, are highly intelligent. If you simply start an engine, or better still both, then they will know you are a boat. And they do not like to eat fibreglass. This most definitely worked for me. And one very scary encounter was back in my student days we sea kayaked from Mull of Kintyre 22 mile across to Northern Ireland . 3 kayaks 2 miles from land. And 4 orcas circled us and one surfaced right next to me and i was staring into its eye. It was as though they checked us out. Decided we were not food . And went down to the makerel feast that is in the North Channel. They are famously still there 40 years later. The local fishermen told us they never attack boats.

They’re not pissed at all. It’s either a learned behavior where they go and bang on fishing boats to get the crew to throw them fish, or they’re simply rubbing their belly on the rudder to try to remove parasites. If they were even the slightest bit pissed, the boat would be at the bottom of the sea. These animals can break a blue whale skull with a head butt and throw a 300kg dolphin 20 meters into the air with a flick of the tail. They’re searching for food or scratching an itch.

Some pods get crazy mad about propellers, but they'll usually leave your boat alone if you stop the motor.

Survive the Savage Sea by Dougal Robertson After their 43ft schooner was stove in by a pod of killer whales, the six of the Robertson family spent 37 days adrift in the Pacific in a small dingy. There were no maps, compass, navigation instruments, or rations for only 3 days.

When I was a kid I was on a fishing trip with my dad. I ruined an entire day because I was having fun feeding a Porpoise dead fish from a chum bucket. That Porpoise followed us around all day. Has anyone attempted to change the behavior of these orcas? If they were fed as I did would the stop destroying ?

For the uninformed commenting about Orca responding to the boat's "electronics", no evidence exists to support the theory that Orca can detect the electric or magnetic fields produced by electronics - regardless of their strength. There is plenty of evidence, however, that proves they are sensitive to mechanical vibrations (ie. sonar) in the water. Boat electronics do not create mechanical vibrations in the hull or water that are comparable in amplitude or frequency to those transmitted to a vessel's hull that are created by sail rigging, rotating propellers, engines, or clunking rudders. The best Orca deterrent will likely wind up being a sonar transmitter that outputs high level signals at frequencies that are annoying to Orca - kind of like a boom box that belts out high volume hip-hop in the presence of your grandparents.

cj g sounds legit and logical... I’m guessing some frequencies/modulations/amplitude would get their interest and some would annoy them and drive them away. As you stated, I wouldn’t think electronics like a VHF radio or a radar designed to transmit through air would be detectable by any undersea creature.

they ARE but not so ANALYTICALLY THINKING TO FORM ARMY ATTACK! They prob think/relate the rudder as a fin...??? COULD BE. OR, SO DEPLETE in their Normal source of food they are trying ANYTHING to try to message 'help'...desperation??? Has Anyone checked into the depletion of their natural food sources-if THOSE are depleted? THIS SEEMS like BEHAVIOR MORE of messaging via desperation than INTENTIONAL HARM OR MEANNESS! THEY ARE INTELLIGENT but ANALYTICALLY CAPABLE? THIS IS BEHAVIOR IMO BASED ON DESPERATE...INSTINCTS!!!! I'M NOT SEEING...ATTACK!!!! OR, is it POSSIBLE they are TRYING TO SIMPLY COMMUNICATE? ARE WE MISSING A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY bc of jumping to conclusions and our own FEARS?

@@helenpierce-lamoureux3124 Orcas are highly intelligent and quite strategic. They utilize various formations and communicate with one another SO, I think if they wanted to form an Army Attack, they could. However, I'm not so sure that was an "attack". . . I feel if they intended on actually damaging or sinking the boat they could have done so. My guess is that IF they were not simply trying to play then they did not like the propellers scaring away their fish, perhaps. Or maybe the boat was using some sort of sonar/radar that was screwing with the Orcas sonar.. ??

Orca’s are not fish, they are mammals. The largest of the oceanic dolphins. They are more intelligent than most humans and the top predators of the sea! They eat great white sharks. Taught at a very young age by their mother. Highly social and have never attacked a human being within the ocean. They have killed their trainers before at seaworld after being held captive and forced to do humans bidding for lots of money. Seaworld has been proven over and over again to lie, cheat and sale orca’s for profit even after they had killed a person, only to separate mothers and their young again for profit and lying to the people who they sold the killer orca to. One Orca they named Hugo was so depressed he committed suicide by ramming his head into the cement wall within his tank till he died. God I could go on about how rotten people are but it’s usually the extremely stupid ones anyway who wouldn’t get it!!!

I was thinking the same thing. A decent size pod of ADULT Orcas would've destroyed that boat if it were under any REAL attack. These clearly were not adults, and they were simply bumping the boat. And while I do understand that might be somewhat frightening out in the middle of the ocean...a REAL attack would have been far worse!!

That is why you need to carry a .308 or two, this could have been stopped in the first few minutes. My parents' catamaran was attacked by a Sperm whale en route from Chile to French Polynesia, it caused quite a lot of damage to the side of the boat. When a second whale came at them from behind, they started an engine which caused it to veer off, and got a .308 out ready. The wife of a sailor, was waiting in Tahiti for his boat making the same voyage, it was 3 months overdue, obviously it sank.
