Turkish Posted 21 July, 2010 Share Posted 21 July, 2010 I hope they exchanged insurance details afterwards. Did the whale steal a camera, a leather jacket and a pair of raybans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 21 July, 2010 Share Posted 21 July, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
