July 29 (2025). update!
Hello everyone.
Time for my annual update. This update may be the last update I make to this site. I unfortunately do not have as much free time as I used to and it is more and more difficult to keep up with updates to the site. I still recommend visiting the Grampian Facebook owners group for the most up to date and lively discussion on Grampians.
I will keep this page up as long as I can, but donations from the community would be appreciated to help cover domain registration and server costs, which are about $100 a year in total in 2025.
James – July 29, ’25, watching the Atlantic coast from Sunny PEI!

Owners Registry Requests
As I am no longer able to keep up with the number of registry updates, I have disabled the form. I will not respond to requests to update any longer, sorry!
If there is anyone out there who has the time and the web design skills to help out with the registry and website, please reach out 🙂
About James
I’m James Burke. Ken Corbett, the previous webmaster, graciously handed me the reins to the site in summer of 2020. I own a Discovery 7.9, a modernized version of the Grampian 26 based at Port Whitby Marina near Toronto.
I work full time so updates happen when I’ve got the time, but my hope is to update all of the old site pages to WordPress format as my time allows 🙂
32′ Grampian triangle pilot house.
we owned a grampian 26 “cielidh” for 28 yrs., and when it was time for a larger boat, there was no question what it would be. Alex Mgruer was a genius, and his designs, still stand the test of time. We looked for a centerboard 30 (quite rare) and found one in Pickering. It has been an adventure, restoring this boat, but to us , the result has been well worth it. We have a stiff, strong safe boat, ready to take on the waters of Georgian Bay, in style and comfort. With the centerboard up we have been able to gunkhole, in some pretty amazing places. We paid 8500.00 for the boat and have sunk maybe 4 grand into it, but it is the best value for a floating cottage, that you could imagine. We are very pleased with our Grampian 30
Love my G-30
Would you like some help in cleaning up the spam posts in the forum? I have a desk job that leaves me with time if that would be helpful 🙂
Cheers,
Joel.
Totally understand, James — thanks for keeping the archive alive despite everything. Wishing you smooth sailing ahead, and hope you find the right trailer soon! ⛵
