A group of killer whales damages a sailboat after a race in the estuary of Pontevedra

A group of orcas caused damage to a sailboat during the Trofeo Ignacio Montenegro regatta held in the Ria de Pontevedra near O Grove, Spain. The incident occurred in the afternoon of Saturday, around the time of the competition's prize-giving, as boats were returning to port. According to the Club Nautico San Vicente do Mar de O Grove, the orcas damaged the boat's helm, prompting the Maritime Rescue Service to intervene. However, the rescue was ultimately unnecessary, and the vessel managed to return to port on its own. No personal injuries were reported, and the event took place near the Picamillo lighthouse at the entrance of the ria.
