I am selling a very well-maintained and sail-ready 1972 Albin Vega 27 with a modified rudder and a powerful 19 PS Volvo Penta engine. The Vega is ready to sail and has no outstanding maintenance issues. The boat is currently in Grossenbrode close to Fehmarn, Germany. The Albin Vega is known for its sturdiness and pleasant sailing characteristics. It’s perfect for beginners as well as experienced solo and cruising sailors. Modified Rudder: Because the rudder is positioned in front of the propeller, Vegas are difficult to steer in reverse. However, this Vega features a unique modified rudder. The rudder has been moved further aft and is now located behind the propeller. This allows this Vega to be steered effortlessly even in reverse. This has already saved us quite a few headaches in Danish harbors. This modification is not comparable to the small auxiliary rudders seen on other Vegas. The modification was professionally done, is very sturdy, and has been working flawlessly for over 20 years. Under sail, the boat responds pleasantly and directly to the rudder. Engine: The engine is a Volvo Penta MD2020 with 19 PS. It has 930 operating hours and still has many hours left in it. It always starts reliably and, with 19 PS, has plenty of power to handle wind and waves. Heat exchanger cleaned and coolant changed last season The filters and oil have been changed every year. 40-liter plastic diesel tank Seawater filter Diesel filter with water separator Volvo Penta stuffing box (not dripping and maintenance free) Hull: Albin Vegas boats are known for being free of osmosis. This boat is no exception. The windows have been replaced with aluminum frames and are watertight. The seacocks have been replaced with modern ball valves. The bilge is also dry. Sails: There is a mainsail with 2 reefing points and a large 120% jib on a furling system with UV protection. The sails are older but undamaged. They were inspected by the sailmaker every winter and stored there in a dry place. The winches are high-quality self-tailing Andersen winches. Electrical System: The electrical system has been completely redone and works flawlessly. All lights have been replaced with LEDs. Shore power connection for charging the batteries Service battery with 100 Ah and starter battery Additional Equipment: -VHF radio with DSC Raymarine ST2000+ autopilot Garmin chartplotter Sturdy sprayhood (larger and much sturdier than the original) Galley cabinet Steiner binoculars Pots, plates, cutlery, glasses Plenty of tools 50-liter water tank New 10-kg Delta anchor New foot pump under the sink Fenders and mooring lines Of course, there’s always work to be done on a boat. Here’s what I’d tackle next: -Replace the gas and transmission hoses -Replace the engine mounts (already purchased) -Replace the genoa sheet pulley Over the past two years, this wonderful boat has reliably accompanied us on two extended cruises through Denmark and Sweden. Unfortunately, due to changes in our work situation, we no longer have the time for it. The previous owner owned the boat for 10 years. The slip in Großenbrode can be included in the sale. If you have any questions, just let us know.
