A British yachtsman’s boat sank after it was attacked by orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar.
Robert Powell and two occupants of the Bonhomie William had to be rescued by Spanish coastguards when orcas buffeted the vessel at night.
The whales disabled the vessel’s steering and the boat started taking on water.
“Sadly these (orcas) were not playing. It was a well-orchestrated and organised attack to sink by boat,” Mr Powell, a London-based managing director, said in a social media post.
“We were all rescued and are safe now.”
He posted a film of his yacht disappearing under the waves in the sea off the coast of Tarifa and Barbate in southern Spain.
