The marine mammals have been "attacking" sailboats since 2020. But those encounters are becoming more frequent, and some say the orcas' tactics are evolving.
The first time a pod of orcas left the captain and his crew stranded on their vessel was in 2020.
As the crew motored inshore after the encounter, one of the orcas reappeared, chased the boat into the marina and tore off what little fiberglass was left on the two rudders.

Captain Dan Kriz says killer whales are getting faster and more strategic in their attacks on boats off the coast of Spain and Portugal.
