Orca encounters
On a perfect sailing day in the summer of 2020, delivery skipper Pete Green was sailing off the south-west coast of Spain. Green and his crew were delivering an Amel 52 from Gibraltar to the UK and all was going smoothly when, suddenly, the yacht’s rudder spun uncontrollably from side to side. They had been hit by a whale.

When the 66m catamaran Hodor was launched in 2019, it amazed even the most seasoned insiders.

Decarbonising Superyachts
Sustainability is a question that is now raised almost every time a new yacht is being built, and superyachts are no exception. The drive for greener yachts is gathering pace, coming partly from forward-thinking owners who want to play their part in a cleaner world, and travel at sea more quietly.

If worst comes to worst

Anyone reliant on the assistance of others in such circumstances will often have more pressing concerns than possible towing or salvage costs. That said, these can cause nasty surprises later on.
