The Grampian 26 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Alex McGruer and first built in 1967.[1][2]
The Grampian 26 design was developed into the Discovery 7.9 in 1975 and which was built in small numbers.[1][3]
Production
The boat was built by Grampian Marine in Oakville, Ontario, Canada between 1967 and 1977. The company completed 980 examples, making it one of the most successful Canadian designs in its size range.[1][4]
Design
The Grampian 26 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel or centreboard.[1]
The boat was optionally factory-equipped with a Palmer gasoline engine or can be equipped with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fresh water tank has a capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1]
Operational history
In the 1970s a Grampian 26 was sailed down the St Lawrence River, to the Atlantic Ocean, down the east coast of North America, through the Panama Canal and north to Seattle on the US west coast.[5]
Owners Dick and Theda Morris sailed their Grampian 26 from New York to Europe and cruised it there for two years. They then returned across the Atlantic to Key West, Florida via the Caribbean.[5]
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The prize for the boat with the best price/size ratio on the used market has to go to the Grampian 26... What makes the Grampian such a great deal is its size - it is a BIG twenty-six footer. It has a large cockpit, standing headroom throughout the length of the cabin, and one of the bigger v-berths that can be found on any size production sailboat. And if all this isn't enough, the Grampian 26 is a surprisingly fast boat...The Grampian's main cabin has a dinette arrangement on the port side and a galley along the starboard side, so it does not have all that much lounging space."[6]
