Company History

Albin is a Swedish company founded by Lars Albin Larsson, who operated from their facilities in Kristinehamn, Sweden, since 1900 and have had many subsidiaries and names over the years, including Albin Motor, Larsson Trade AB and more recently Albin Marin AB. Their mainly engineering base produced a wide variety of products, including pumps, engines and at one time, a motorcycle, all of which were overseen by Lars' son Erik until he died in 1959. After this time, Lars Larsson took control and began producing a variety of boats in conjunction with the design skills of Per Brohall, which created Larsson Trade AB, renamed as Albin Marin AB in 1971. The company produced both Motor Boats, Motor-sailors & sailboats during their history. While the Albin Motor company became heavily involved with Volvo Penta, the boat building facilities of Albin Marin AB ceased production in 1981. During the production of their boats, there was a wholly British-owned subsidiary, Albin UK, responsible for importing the boats into the UK from their base on the Hamble, having particular success with the Albin 25 motor and the Albin Vega sailboat.

Featured Boat - Albin Vega 27

The Vega is a 27-foot long keel yacht whose modest dimensions belly a competent cruising boat. The accommodation is suitable for up to 4 people, though it is snug at best considering the 8' beam. However, it is more than capable of sleeping 4 in comfort for brief excursions and excels at accommodating 2 people for extended cruising, which is the ace in this 27 footer's pack. Several transatlantic crossings have been undertaken in Vega 27's. The boat's long (though not full length) keel, solid build, and deep cockpit enable safe and dry cruising on extended passages and ocean crossings. One quirk of the Vega is the propeller's position; positioned astern and above the rudder, it can make reversing under power a little tricky. Considering their relative age, many Albin Vega yachts have undergone some updating. While some have merely undergone refreshing changes, you will find others that have extended their longevity with new engines and other components.
