Check out goodoldboat.com. They have a listing of owners associations for many boats. My impression is that the Grampian is respected as a very solid boat. Its quite slow, but will get you there.

Pavel, there are lots of Grampians still sailing, especially in Ontario waters, where the company resided. The company folded over 20 years ago but these solid cruisers are still being bought and sold. If you go to www.sailnet.com and go to their "boatcheck" feature, type in Grampian26, and 10 owner reviews are to be found. E-mail any that are listed for further information. There are a number of owner sponsered Grampian web sites. This one is a good one, and has many links to others.http://www0.delphi.com/grampian/Good luck with your search.Don

... October 1977. Whilst passing through the land-based boat exhibits:Frustrated Grampian dealer, standing up in cockpit of boat, crying out in desperation above crowds: "DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO BUY A GRAMPIAN 22?" My (cocky) brother, then age 18: "NO!"Crowds: [laughter]Sorry, but that was how it was for us, and (sadly) Grampian, in the late '70s. Cherubini Boat Co. took in deposits representing an entire year's production run of 44s AT THE SHOW (in only four days of it in fact-- $30 grand, cash, each day). The guys at the AMF/Alcort (Sunfish) booth directly astern of us did not sell as many hulls as we did. I guess it was easy to feel cocky... then.JC
