You'd need a yacht with at least two rudders...

Ria De Vigo in the evening light ,under its tranquil surface could lurk killer wales

 

[Fr J Hackett]

You must first answer the question as do you have the temerity to venture outside of the sheltered waters of the ria.

Only time will tell

 

[Concerto]

Only time will tell

Not sure in which lifetime that will be.

 

[Buck Turgidson]

Irrelevant as it's quite obvious to everyone that you have no intention of buying a boat. You just like talking about it. Mostly to yourself.

I think the Orcas are more at risk of dying through old age.

From observing these pages one might be wise to be wary of navigating the Ria de Viago....

There has been no mention of the Orcas entering the ria ands ice the German yacht was disabled no further mention has been made of those pesky killers
Apart from that the Rias are quite safe and Spanish yachtsmen seem to have a grasp of the roots of the road.I won’t be afloat for a while so no immediate danger!…..German yacht savagedby orcas ashore in Vigo

Is this why twin rudders have become so popular in recent times - one for the orcas and one to get you home?

If they come near me I’ll take it out!

Which is why I suggested "at least two"...

What about the rudder?

 

[Wansworth]

What about the rudder?

Itsa transome hung rudder,maybe it can be lifted up and out of reache,of course they may take a liking tto the transome

 

[Boathook]

Jings! Orcas are now patrolling boat yards - at least you won’t sink if you’re already on props!

I’m amazed that the issue has been going on for so long. I’ll admit I expected someone to take matters into their own hands with a homemade harpoon!

Used to teach dinghy sail and crew weight balance as a nimble kid, by manoeuvring the boat without the rudder shipped.. which worked.. Mostly

Wansey and his rudderless craft could be the future .

Escape from the Pelagics! A bold film of derring do and swashbuckling high jinks.

You have a fertile imagination

It's a transom hung rudder, maybe it can be lifted up and out of reach, of course they may take a liking to the transom

I'm sure you have a very pretty transom!
