Had a whale graze my rudder 2 years ago...
In Response To: Whale takes out J/120 (link) ()

August of 2007 off San Pedro Pt, Santa Cruz Island. They were all around us, I was at the helm and it felt like one just dragged across the bottom of the rudder. Had the boat hauled shortly thereafter, no damage other than the bottom paint, but pretty startling.
