Solrun B new boat in Norway, instead of Jakob

Jón Páll Jakobsson, who has been fishing with the boat Jakob in Norway for the past few years, ran into it this winter

that there was a big fire in the boat while he was fishing. and the boat was completely destroyed.

there was a rescue, but three people were on the boat when it burned.

this was a big shock for Jón Pál, but he started looking for another boat,

and found a boat at home in Iceland. Karólínu ÞH from Húsavík.  But Jón Páll is Icelandic, but lives in Norway

Jón Páll has now bought Karólína ÞH and his name is now Sólrún B

Haukur Eidsson owned Karólína ÞH and he took very good care of the boat and told Jón that the condition of Karólína ÞH

was very good.


The boat is 40 cm shorter than Jakob, but 30 cm wider, and there is a autoline  in the boat, but when Jon Páll was with Jakob
he was fishing  with stampline. in Karolína ÞH there is a 17500 hook system and it comes with the boat.

It is planned that the boat will start fishing soon and here on the English site Aflafrettir.com you will be able to follow the boat's fishing,


Jakob burn in Norway winter 2023.
