Friends! Today we have another Albin Vega with an operating original 12 h.p. engine Albin Q22 (petrol) for only 2100 euro!
Location: Sweden
Length: 8.25 meters
Width: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.17 meters
Berths: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
The boat is completely ready to sail. There’s a full set of sails, a genoa furler (this is a big advantage). Fresh mainsail cover and fresh spray hood.
The boat looks good enough both outside and inside. I didn’t notice any serious problems. Reinforcement of the mast beam was made (this is also very good, since it’s the weak point of all Albin Vega sailboats).
The Albin Q22 engine is a gasoline engine. You have to be very careful about fire safety. Personally, I don’t like the idea of an inboard gasoline engine.
The boat costs only 2100 euro. It has a properly working inboard engine, some updates have been made. The boat was maintained, but no capital expenditures were made.
I think this is a good first boat, and if you wish, you can make a real mini cruiser out of it, for example, for traveling around Europe.
