The Albin Vega is a recreational keelboat built by Albin Marine in Sweden from 1965 to 1979 with about 3,450 completed. The narrow fibreglass hull has a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel, with a cutaway forefoot. It has a slight reverse sheer. It is a masthead sloop with a deck-stepped mast and a single set of unswept spreaders. It may be equipped with a spinnaker. It sails well in a range of conditions and is well balanced. Early models used Volvo Penta MB10A 15 hp or Albin 022 13 hp gasoline engines. Volvo diesels were offered starting in 1972 with the 10 hp MD6A. the placement of the propeller aft of the rudder can affect motoring in reverse. It has four berths. The galley is on both sides of the companionway ladder, with the two-burner stove to port and the sink to starboard. A navigation station is on the starboard side. With an 8-foot beam, the cabin is smaller than that typically found on more recent designs. Cabin headroom is 170 cm. The head and V-berth are enclosed from the main cabin.
