A datapoint: "Brwbrwbrbrllwllbrrwwll" means: "I am f*cking your mother, young herring", which is (a) as you can imagine a strong insult in Orcaish and (b) unfortunately a sound a yacht propeller is going to make sooner or later...

@Lazarou @simon_brooke The yachts involved in the various incidents of orca-induced damage to have made the news are smallish sailing vessels owned by (by Western European standards) relatively 'normal' people.

The vessels on this list might more accurately be described as 'ships' than 'yachts', and there is nothing an orca is going to do to one other than harm itself.
