Orca attacks, solutions and fixes of fortune
In this video we are going to see and talk about the ORCAS ATTACKS that have occurred on sailboats in the area of Galicia and the Strait of Gibraltar in the last two years.
It is not so much an opinion video, but a practical video about: what to do, WHAT WORKS and what doesn’t and, above all, very entertaining, dealing with the subject with good humor.
We are going to see how the attacks are, with EXCLUSIVE IMAGES of several of them, we are going to see the official RECOMMENDATIONS on what to do in case of an attack, and those that are not official, even not allowed, are the ones that WORK to be able to REPEL to the ORCAS without harming them or harming us..
And finally, in the unfortunate event that we suffer an attack with damage to our ship, we are going to see the FIXES of FORTUNE that can allow us to reach port by our own means. All this with a certain rigor, without going overboard, and a great sense of humor.

Finally, I leave you some photos of the construction of the support and rudder of fortune. It works very well, but I am going to make two improvements:
🔵 Increase the distance between the hinges to double, so they suffer less lateral effort.
🔵 Raise the blade higher (the distance I increase between hinges) so that it is more comfortable to handle and has less surface in the water that there is to spare.
