Small sailboats don’t have that much power available. 1000W solar, 6000 Wh batteries, and separate generator on medium size. Running AC is challenge away from shore for most boats.
Also, when news say orcas are attacking small sailboats, I think they are comparing them to large yachts. And not actually small sailboats below 25'. I suspect most are 30-50' since that is most popular size for offshore.
