| Overview | 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. | On the live Maxi 77 card the overview already names **Pelle Petterson** and years **1972-1983**, but it writes beam **2.4 m** and displacement about **1 700 kg**, while the design-history block suddenly credits the hull lines to **Arvid Laurin**. |
| Typical issues | 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. | Live overview **2.4 / 1 700** and history **Laurin** close against the sheet **Petterson / 2.50 / ~2 000 / LWL 6.75**. |
