The 2014 Pacific Northwest Albin Vega (et al) Rendezvous
Tuesday 5th, Wednesday 6th, & Thursday 7th of August 2014 at Port Browning Marina on North Pender Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands.
Latitude 48 46.6213 N
Longitude 123 16.4077 W
This very informal event is open to all interested parties with any type of boat, or no boat at all ... but the more Vegas the better! The marina also has a camp ground and B&B's are available locally. There is a shopping center within easy walking distance, including a place to buy spirits.
Visitors coming by boat from the US can check in through one of CanadianCustoms' reporting stations.
The marina will be experiencing full bookings the long weekend before, and the weekend after our alloted time. Space has been reserved for 10 boats, but as this event is mid-week the marina said a few more should not be a problem.
Please contactthem directly on their website to make your reservation (preferred method) and make sure you put "Albin Vega Rendezvous" in the "Special Requests box" as they will try to group our boats together.
You can also phone them at 1-250-629-3493.
(Thanks to Peter Jacobs for organizing the event.)

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.

All in all, the American Vega Association is a valuable resource
