I did a Vic-Maui sailboat race and the delivery back home many years ago, and one of the other boats in the race, that we were checking in with on the radio on the delivery back home hit a whale in the night. It was a cored hull and broke the outer layer, but the inner layer remained intact. We talked to them on the radio a few hours after it had happened and they sounded very shaken up. We were still over a 1000 miles from home. The only reason they knew it was a whale and not a container was there was a chunk of flesh/skin jammed in the broken fiberglass.
