A French Trawler titled m/v The Bikain collided with a Dingle Marina pontoon in Farrannakilla South West Ireland, while going astern on the afternoon of Friday 25 November. The Bikain apparently got stuck in reverse hitting the Dingle Marina pontoon and damaging half a dozen boats in the process including of which is a thirteen meter Botnia Targa. This Botnia Targa traditional cruiser was totalled with the collision; partly sank, stern cut off, and capsized on its starboard side. She is now unfortunately a salvage for parts.
The Botnia Targa in this accident is a 42 as produced from 2004 to 2008. Botnia's flagship at launch the Targa 42 was replaced and renewed into the 44 in 2007, with a new stern design which gave a larger engine room and IPS propulsion option.
