   So I know it’s all very funny, ha ha, but here’s why the orcas don’t go after the. Oats of the ultra rich.

   Two photos. One a multi million euro luxury yacht. Notice it has two props. They steer by vectoring the thrust. There is no rudder.

   The other, my boat. It costs what a new car costs (like if you were buying a low end Tesla. Expensive, but not stupid money). It has a rudder because it’s a sailboat. It can’t rely on thrust being present.

   No rudder - no orca attack. People who can afford sailboats, which the orcas are attacking, cannot afford luxury motor yachts, which they aren’t.

   A sailboat is like a mouldy caravan, but floating, and slower.

     @cerement Yes. They have shown a preference for spade rudders. Mine is exactly the sort of boat the nasty shits like to attack.

     @goatsarah

     are there reduced attacks on boats with full keels or wide skegs?

     @mikej same. I run the gauntlet next summer. Somewhat worried. I have a life raft and a phone that can do satellite distress, and I don’t taste like tuna.

     @goatsarah I'm hoping the fad becomes passé like salmon hats did.
