The American Vega Association
is a loosely organized group of owners and enthusiasts of the Per
Brohall designed Albin Vega 27 sloop. Our purpose is to provide a
central resource for information and assistance in the enjoyment and
maintenance of these fine sailboats, to keep Vega owners and
enthusiasts worldwide informed of events and gatherings of interest, to assist in organizing and promoting Vega fleet
Rendezvous and to share information on maintaining, modifying, sailing
and living aboard the Vega. There are photo essays of notable Vegas,
accounts of voyages
and adventures plus announcements and complete
coverage of events like the Pacific Northwest VEGAtarian Rendezvous and
the International Friendship Regattas and links to sites of
interest. WE think the Vega 27 is one of the finest small
cruisers ever built but you don't have to take our word for it.
Take a look at this independent evaluation.

We recently had the opportunity to peruse a blog by one of our members that we think will be of interest to any small boat sailor. Nico Walsh describes his blog, On The Wind this way: "A daily blog about sailing, by an experienced sailor. Technical
but accessible content about sailing, sail trim, navigation, cruising,
and the universe of boating." and might we add - Very well done.

Pacific Northwest VEGAtarians 9th annual Rendezvous is over. We had a great time at Friday Harbor. Full report with video and photos coming soon!

Membership in the American Vega Association is open to anyone. You need not own a Vega to join or to take part in club activities. To become a member all you need do is sign up. Completing the sign up form helps us keep track of boats as they change hands and move around the world. Benefits to membership include access to the MemberShip pages including the newsletter archive and the Vega Owners Repair and Maintenance Manual, compiled by the members for more than thirty years and continually updated with new material, available in printer-friendly .pdf format.
At this time, membership fees have been waived. Expenses are being covered by volunary contributions and income from sales in the Ship's Store.
All in all, the American Vega Association is a valuable resource
for any owner or aspiring owner of a Vega or any small fiberglass
cruising sailboat. We hope you’ll join us. If you have any questions
email us at:

Feel free to look around the site and check back often as we will be adding new content regularly. Oh, and, while you're here, watch out for the Viking Kittens, especially when they haven't had their mead and mutton.
