- description: Maritime authorities in Spain have asked sailors off the coast of Galicia to give orcas a wide berth after a naval yacht lost part of its rudder following a brush with two of the whales. The encounter took place on Sunday in the Rías Baixas area of north-west Spain. Footage from the Mirfak – a Spanish naval yacht en route to a regatta – shows the animals swimming alongside and underneath the boat before the sailors realise the rudder has been damaged Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Boats off Spain damaged in orca encounters ► https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/01/boats-off-spain-damaged-in-orca-encounters Support the Guardian ► https://support.theguardian.com/contribute Today in Focus podcast ► https://www.theguardian.com/news/series/todayinfocus The Guardian YouTube network: The Guardian ► http://www.youtube.com/theguardian Owen Jones talks ► http://bit.ly/subsowenjones Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/guardianfootball Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsport Guardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture
