There is a story that orcas near the Strait of Gibralter have learned to attack and disable sailboats. Don't know if they've sunk any yet.
After four years and hundreds of incidents, researchers remain puzzled why orcas, also known as killer whales, continue to ram boats – sinking a few of them – along the Iberian Peninsula."
