Skipper Bjarni Hjálmarsson of Icelandic factory trawler Blængur has been using a 127 m H-Top. 14 “We‘ve used it in every kind of weather and on everything from muddy grounds to rocky areas and steep banks. This trawl sits well and tows 15 beautifully” The H-Top is available in a size range from 100 m up to 127 m. 16 17 18 19 20 hampidjan.com
