Design limits set by the EU Recreational Craft Directive (2013/53/EU), in significant wave height. A category covers the conditions of those below it. It is the limit the boat was designed to, not a promise that it is safe in any conditions within it — that judgement stays with the skipper.

Premium production
Finnish builder of the original offshore pilothouse motorboat — eleven models from the 7.7-metre Targa 23.1 to the 15-metre Targa 46, built by hand by Oy Botnia Marin Ab at Malax and Nykarleby on the Gulf of Bothnia since 1976.
Botnia Marin was founded in 1976 by Johan Carpelan and his wife Britt-Marie at Malax, south of Vasa in Finland; production began in 1977 with a staff of ten, the H-boat as the main product and the Botnia 23, of which 650 were built by 1991. The production rights for the Targa 25 were bought from Targa Yachts in 1984, and the range grew with the Targa 29 in 1989, the celebrated Targa 27 launched in Hamburg in 1991, the 23, the 33 'Absolut Targa' of 1995, the 30/31 of 1997 -- the year the Metropolitan Police bought its first Targa patrol boat and the Sunwind yard in Nykarleby was acquired -- and the flagship 37 of 1998. The company passed 100 employees in 2000 and 1,000 Targas in 2003, laminated the Targa 42 by vacuum infusion in 2004, the first full-scale use in Finland, and reached 200 employees in 2007 when the 44 IPS was released; the Targa 44 and the Targa 32 were each named Motor Boat of the Year, in 2009 and 2012. The Targa 46, the largest and most powerful, arrived in 2017, and the boats are still built by hand in Malax and Nykarleby by a family firm with the second generation of Carpelans on board.
