| Overview | The class rules of 2003 call the Comfort 30 a one-design boat in glassfibre. One-design here means the rules hold the character of the boat as one, not that every hull left a single yard. By those rules the Albinsson brothers designed her in 1969. | You look at an Albin Vega 27 on the hard and the sheer looks wrong - the deckline rises amidships instead of dipping, a reverse sheer that newcomers call a hump and owners call the reason a 27-footer can carry real cabin volume. |
| Typical issues | The underwater shape on sailboatdata is not that of the later Comfort 32: a fin keel and a rudder on a skeg, a projection of the hull, not a separate blade. The rig is masthead. The stated sail area is 36.23 m². Lead 1,390 kg. Waterline 7.07 m. | Q: Which designer, builder, and years should I verify first for the Albin Vega 27? A: Per Brohäll for Albin Marine AB in Kristinehamn, Sweden, production 1965–1979 with about 3450 hulls. |
