Cool! Ook even van binnen de installatie video graag, ben jaloers. (of mij fotos in pm)

OH dat is lang geleden dat ik een Fram filmpje voorbij heb zien komen! Ik hoop dat ze jullie na het bouw plezier ondertussen ook vaar plezier heeft opgeleverd!

What??!!!!!! I need details!!!! 😁👍🏻👍🏻

What a Dumbass looking boat. 8 yrs? 🙃

So starting the engine and revving her up or perhaps forward full would not scare the Orca away?

What an absolute beauty! Love the name and mint green colour.

I want one! I love designs that challenge the orthodox.

It would be interesting to make a list of boats being attacked which shows type of hull, rudder and colour under water. Maybe that can lead to an explanation.

GOOD for the Whales, sink em all.

Drone orcas. Blow them away

In California they even attack motor boats. They are looking for a new food source. 😮

I Like the Blues Music you had playing in the last part of the Video......

I have heard that surgical stainless steel leading edges that are well sharpened have been effective.

It's their world, respect it. Other humans have done something wrong for them to have a trauma response. Just like walking in the woods this is THEIR world and human are not the only intelligent species.

I really wonder why they havent attacked anyone yet. They've already managed to successfully dismantle and sink a few sail boats over the course of the last few years. How nobody has been physically harmed yet is perplexing to say the least.

That’s total clickbait!

I think we should start killing the Killer whales, they are evil.

Three words - High powered Rifle

Orca repellent like shark or bear repellent could be used until the whales figure out and tell their friends that destroying boats is not OK.

Time to start blasting them

I think the Orca thinks that the rudder is like his own top fin and believes it should be outta the water and they are trying to turn the boat over to "save it's life". But hey I am from Nebraska, what could I possibly know about Orca behavior LOL

Well done! I expect you’ve been sailing her for while now. I’ve just finished building a Scarab 650 ( a 6.5m folding trailerable tri ) in epoxy sandwich and solid fibreglass. Took me about 2500 hours in roughly 2 years. A much smaller undertaking than your beautiful boat, but a solid amount of work as only another boat builder will appreciate. Mine is white with sunflower yellow topsides on the main hull, beams and tiller etc. But I love your unexpected colour! : )

Very interesting boat

The scariest thing is the yacht itself. A design where you can wash off from the stern. Rest is watching a total waste of tme.

Maybe they were playing but rough play! It could be that they like the chase, you know how they tell you don’t run from certain animals or it will chase you, maybe it was a bit if that

Leuk, geeft een beeld van de discusssie op Zeilersforum.

Fråm was Nansen’s polar ship! I’ve been aboard her a few times…

You are lucky. look at this one. czcams.com/video/0lhhoPpdjcY/video.html

ch kann es mir auch hier nicht verkneifen mein Kommentar zu schreiben. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn. Bei allen Tieren, egal in welchem Medium gibt es Kommunikation. Nun die einfachste simpelste und schnellste und effektivste Anwendung um die Neugier oder Aufdringlichkeit von diesem Wal Kindergarten zu beenden. Bitte nur in solchen Situationen anwenden. Ein paar Trigger Impulse unter Wasser zu den Walen gesendet und diese Tiere werden sich garantiert sehr schnell verpissen. Wer beim ersten Schuß vor den Bug immer noch nicht hören will, bekommt die volle Dröhnung im langen Intervall. Natürlich genau in dem Frequenzbereich in dem sich diese Tiere unterhalten. Also, Fazit : Neptun der Meeresgott hat seine Untertanen zur Ordnung gerufen und es sehr effizient gemacht. Diese Art und Weise läßt sich in der gesamten Tierwelt anwenden. Je nach Tierart und Kommunikationsfrequenz. Um somit selber aus dem eventuellen Gefahrenbereich zu kommen, oder die Aufdringlichkeit der jeweiligen Tiere zu beenden. Das gilt übrigens auch für einen Zitteraal. Obwohl er ja selber hohe Stromschläge nur kurzzeitig aber wirkungsvoll verteilen kann. Ob Krokodile, Alligatoren oder andere Raubtiere. Es funktioniert wie am Schnürchen. Wie man so etwas gestaltet? Jeder kann sich kundig machen wie ein sehr alter Steuergenerator aufgebaut ist und funktioniert. Und mit einer Spindelkurbel und Wiederstandswicklungen von einem Stellwiederstend läßt sich jedes Frequenzband rauf und runter leiern. Soviel zu solchen simplen und effektiven Abwehrmaßnahmen. Ich muss jedes mal sehr laut lachen, wenn ich so manche angebliche Probleme auf diesem Planeten sehe, das mir fast jedesmal das Bauchfell weh tut. Aber bitte bei allen Tieren immer nur dann anwenden und benutzen, wenn es wirklich zu bunt wird mit all den Tieren. Die Welt ist ein Technologie Kindergarten. Stimmts?

They are intelligent and know to attack the rudder. They have been in these waters for years, ya'll think they haven't learned a few things about us.

Betting I could come up with a method to discourage this...

Stupid humans are dumb as all hell

Killer Whales attack humans but their have been no taste of Killer Whales eating a human for their Manu

Sailboat music is the wurst

Lucky you weren't sunk!

Its probably the sonar that is attracting them and pissing them off.

Two things that come to mind regarding these cases. They are all far from land, so perhaps the rudder is simply a rare and convenient scratching post. Second, any animal hiding from orcas will seek out shelter, perhaps they are just curious, looking for concealed food. If I really though they were attacking the boat, I'd be inclined to put an air horn into the water and give them a painful blast.

Spade rudders look like the fin of another whale.

Right strategy

To everyone that claims this is normal behavior and not an attack. It is not. There have been over 180 reported cases of orcas around Spain and Portugal attacking the rudder on sailboats since 2020. That‘s why the steering wheel kept flying. These incidents have left the boats damaged and disabled, two boats even sunk after the attack. And before 2020 no such attacks have been reported ever.

Why are they attking boats though

Since then there have been yachts sunk through Orca encounters. I will not call them attacks it is there environment but pretty scary. I have sailed past Finisterre a couple of times. Once in a Contessa 26, a close encounter with an Orca aboard that would have necessitated a change of the Henry Lloyds.

Geçmiş olsun abi😮

Something is off with these beautiful whales. They love swimming in the wake of a boat going 25mph. Or on the side of regular boats which I've experienced with Dolphins. But it's been the past few years, they seem to be upset with sailboats. I think someone has done something to a few pods, especially around Portugal. That's where they constantly attack boats. Are they upset, playing, territorial. We'll never know because they're so beautiful and gentle, and this seems knew. But in the end we're in their home, so they are not to be blamed. 🐳 🙏 ⛵

You mad them mad as hell and they're not taking it anymore !! 🤣😅😅

God that girl is annoying 😢

Phenomenal accomplishment and excellent looking boat. I'm sure it will sail well. I built an F-9A in 24 months (launched in 1993). So much work goes into one-off boatbuilding but you can end up with a custom boat that will beat almost everything else on the water. Trimarans are wonderful sailing vessels. RIP Ian - Thanks for the great designs.

LOL. It is their ocean. Why is there no actual video of them attacking your boat? Swimming along side is not attacking. You are in THEIR ocean. Sail in a lake if you are scared.

Well at least your zinc looks ok. I didn’t see any attack. I think we’re gonna have to search the boat. Everyone keep their hands where we can see em
