History
Designed by Per Brohall in 1965 and put into production in 1966 after extensive sea trials. Production ended in 1979 with almost 3400 hulls buildt.
The Vega is considered a solid sailboat and it has cruised around the world on many occations the more extreme being trips to Antarctica and to the north of Spitsbergen.
The Vega was given a short counter stern with an inboard rudder, however, instead of a transom and an outboard rudder, and her cabintop, raised in two sections, gave her more room below.
The Vega has comfortable bunks for four, two 6-footers and two of 6 feet 6 inches, but it would be a mistake to plan on long ocean crossings with four adults.
All this speaks for the strength and integrity of the Vega and its hull.
The AlbinVega is a solidly built 27-footer with an excellent reputation for sailing performance and seaworthiness.
The AlbinVega was designed by Per Brohall in 1964, for Larrson Trade AB, builders of Albin marine petrol engines, who were looking for a way to increase sales of their engines.
A wooden prototype was built in 1965 and extensively sea-trialled, and from this prototype the moulds were made for the AlbinVega.
