I would recomend you to turn around and go back to Portimao, there is a lifting possibilities and good crafts men that can help you. We have spent the last 4 winters on Rosa Cabral e Soares yard and

Thanks for your answer, Actually it was not frighting at all and we enjoyed this once in a lifetime close encounter. The second hour we (= the orcas and the helmsman) "agreed" on a course of 280

This is. On the third Amel I know if that has had its rudders destroyed… WHAT THE HELL!?!! I hope you are ok and we’re able to makekk no it to port safely. That sounds frightening… especially
