¿Qué cubre este video?

A delivery crew sailing a 52-foot Amel yacht from Gibraltar toward the United Kingdom encountered a pod of orcas southwest of Barbate, Spain.0:13 The whales collided with the hull, keel, and rudder, causing the steering wheel to spin violently.0:28 The encounter lasted nearly two hours and included both adult orcas and juveniles.0:55 Following standard safety protocols, the crew shut down all systems and drifted to minimize the vessel's profile and discourage further interaction.1:34 The orcas eventually departed, leaving the rudder partially damaged but functional.1:39 The crew maintained enough steering control to navigate toward shelter.2:31 Drifting with all systems powered down remains the recommended response to orca interactions to prevent rudder destruction and loss of vessel control.
