I've read some very interesting report in a yachting magazine last year.
Those big guys on yachts have tried small self-guided missile (bought cheap
in a local military surplus store); first attempt was a success. Second one
failed because a crew member began celebrating too soon after launch, and
has lit his cigarette; it  was a heat-guided missile, you know :-)... Man
can't go wrong with a harpoon.
