Graeme Walker tells of how the animals rammed his yacht off the west coast of Spain
A little after dawn on Tuesday morning, Graeme Walker felt a shudder move through his 15-metre (48ft) yacht as it passed off Cape Finisterre. Then the wheel locked.
His first thought was that something had gone wrong with the autohelm. But when the wheel started shifting hard to left and right, the retired chief financial officer remembered an article he’d read recently and quickly realised his boat, the Promise 3, was not to blame.
