It will be in PBO in 3 years time with an article on how to repair an orca generated hole in your hull with some used chewing gum and the board from the cabin sole followed up a few months later on making a new cabin sole out of old pallets.

Bet Sunbrella are doing well if he is still making the emergency umbrella for unexpected hull penetration.....It will be in PBO in 3 years time with an article on how to repair an orca generated hole in your hull with some used chewing gum and the board from the cabin sole followed up a few months later on making a new cabin sole out of old pallets.
I had a plastic bag and a tin of expanding foam aboard, if you put the bag through the hole and then filled with foam it would take shape.....in theory.....never got to try it.

Not to mention the PBO web page will be littered with more adverts than actual words in the articleIt will be in PBO in 3 years time with an article on how to repair an orca generated hole in your hull with some used chewing gum and the board from the cabin sole followed up a few months later on making a new cabin sole out of old pallets.

Looking back the original PBO readers came from nautical stock brought up in the world of boating by their forefathers now in the next centuary readers are totally new to boating with no family connection

You mean they are like orcas. Only they will have been taught by forumites, so have got things a little mixed up.

Race boats are not immune: Orca encounter: “This was a scary moment”
The video is extremely interesting. This is rather benign compared to many but it’s worth a look.

Possibly related, though no sign this is Orcas despite the DT making a link.

Someone really did their homework to come up with this.
Killer whale boat attack videos might not be what they seem
"I really feel that it is something about the underside of the sailboat, the keel, or the long portion of the boat that sticks far down into the water,"
It would be useful if we could come up with a single word that describes that bit of a boat? Something more snappy perhaps..well, more concise, perhaps not snappy.
