This particular Albin Vega is in good condition with upgrades designed for the single-handed, blue water sailor, including: lines run aft, slab reefing, stow-able lazy jacks, self-tailing winches, solar panel, furling headsail, Standard Horizon VHF with AIS/GPS output to laptop, new double lifelines, new head/stainless steel tank, LEDs inside and out, propane grill, new fuse panel, running rigging new in 2009, stereo with iPod dock, Xantrex 2000W inverter/charger, Nav Station and custom cradle . It has been fresh water sailed for at least the last 20 years, was in storage for 13 years prior to our purchase and undergoes maintenance and upgrades in a covered shed in the winter. She comes with a variety of sails for furler or hanks, both of which are included in the sale. (Pictures available upon request.)
The 27 foot Albin Vega is ranked 5th out of 20 boats for seaworthiness and was included in John Vigors book,"Twenty Small Sailboats To Take You Anywhere".
