So a French trawler, The Bikain, was mooring in Dingle on the West Coast of Ireland yesterday when it stuck in reverse.
It seemed to reverse at a decent pace straight towards the adjacent marine. It appears to have written off a lovely Targa 42 and possible another boat or two. Very sad for the owners. The last time I was there they spent the whole day scrubbing and polishing the boat.
