Welcome To The Grampian Owners Marina

WARNING:  I continue to get stories of the failure of the cast aluminum fitting on the bow to which your forestay and jib or furling gear attach. The latest report is on a G28. If you look at Item 14 on the G26 FAQ page you will find some discussion on this subject and possible alternatives for attaching your stay and jib.

Minor changes are being made to the site like inventory updates and boat sale listings. Major updates will be detailed on the Site Changes page. Hopefully I will have time to do more updating in the Fall. Meanwhile, please keep the information, photos and stories coming in. I am just about up-to-date with my emails.

The promised renovation project to a Grampian Discovery, HipNautical is now available for viewing under Projects. Basic instructions and great photos showing how the foam core in the deck was replaced. Worth a look. Thanks to Brad Boudreau for sending this in. Any one else out there got some great repair/renovation photos?

Just added an interesting old spec sheet for the G26.

I am always very pleased to receive donations that help to keep this site running. Some are made via Pay Pal and some are mailed to me. I am just a little concerned however as to whether all the mailed ones are reaching me. I have in the past been asked for my mailing address so a donation can be mailed to me. I have sent the information but never heard anymore. Now they may have changed their mind which is fine but I am concerned as to whether any are going astray in the mail. If you mail in a donation and do not receive acknowledgement of it, please let me know as I always thank donors. I want to thank all those owners 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.

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.

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.

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