I am currently updating the FOR SALE/WANTED pages. If you have a listing on either of these pages, please ensure you contact me or reply to my email if you want your listing to remain on the site. Once completed, viewers can be assured that all information on these listings is up-to-date. A quick review of the listings shows that although it was a slow year for boat sales and very much a buyers market, a number of boats have sold over the last 12 months.

Well it is eight years today since this site was launched. It has grown considerably over those years thanks to the information and photos you have sent me. We now have around 1/3 of the Grampian 26's built accounted for and probably similar numbers for the other models. We have heard from owners who bought their boat from the factory and still have them. I have yet to receive a letter from anyone stating any sort of dissatisfaction with their Grampian boat, a truly remarkable record.

I want to thank all those owners who have sent information and I especially want to thank those people who have made a donation towards the upkeep of the site over the years. It does cost to keep it running as well as requiring a great deal of time.

I am sure there are still many more photos of sailing and renovations out there as well as stories of trips and long-time ownership. Please send them into me, I may not get them posted immediately, as I say it all takes time, but they will be posted eventually and shared by all the readers of this site.

Thanks folks and lets keep it steaming forward

My apologies to everyone but I have not been very actively updating the site over the last couple of months. I will try and rectify that situation in the New Year and get a bit more work done on the site. Please remember, a lot of what I do is based on your input, so a lack of input can also result in a lack of activity on the site.

Again, many thanks to the owners who in the past year have made donations towards the upkeep of the site.  They are greatly appreciated whatever the amount. Expenses are the cost of the Yahoo server and  recently, new Web design software and instruction books to enable me to improve the site. It takes time to keep the site maintained and your donations help make me aware and motivated that the site is appreciated.

I encourage regular visitors to the site to view the Log entries as there are often new and prospective owners looking for advice from you all knowing Grampian experts. Please take a look and see if you can assist.

I am going to pose my annual request again in the hope of more response this time. "What projects are you undertaking on your boat ? Drop me a line describing your plans and please send photos as your work progresses. There are a number of people that promised me photos of their renovations but I have not received very many to-date. Come on people, let's see what you are doing. The content of this web site depends upon your submissions" This is YOUR website so if there are items or information you would like to see here, please let me know.

Don't forget, this site depends upon your input of information and photos and of monetary donations to keep it going. Please help.
