I hope the whale is ok. That would bloody hurt.

 

Painful for everyone. The upright stanchions, that surround a yacht and carry the safety wires, are designed to take quite a wallop, but to buckle on a signifcant impact. I would say a breaching mature right-whale would qualify [he wrote with every ounce of understatement]. Then there's all the tension wires and stays holding the mast. I wouldn't have thought that whale got away without injury. Mind you, I wouldn't have thought the people on board would have escaped either. The boat itself, despite being dismasted, didn't seem to do too badly either.
