I still reckon the underwater view of a seperate spade rudder has a similarity to a whales dangly bits. I mean to a whale, not me. My concern is for my Aries steering paddle. A playfull or horny whale could rip the lot off my transom.
EDIT. Just googled an underwater video of two whales going at it. Yup, definitely a spade rudder. About two meters long and a bit wobbly. Normally retracted to stop barnacles so may indicate an unwanted attempt to mate if extended.
Attacks hundreds of miles apart, on the same day, suggests some very high speed orcas?
ps Please can you post the link of humping whales or would this earn you time ashore?
