Welcome To The Grampian Owners Marina

June 18, 2008

Back in the late 90's Don Boesel who has sailed a 1972 Grampian 26, "Avalon" for the last 27 years out of the Pultneyville YC on Lake Ontario, started to compile a list of Grampian 26 boats and their owners. Don kindly provided me with a copy of that list and that was what formed the initial starting point for this web site. I was sorry to hear but  totally understand that Don has asked me to list Avalon for sale as he is moving up to a larger boat. My thanks to you Don for that initial help and fair winds for many years to come.

Well having just returned from my time away and then being faced with finishing scraping the bottom of Patience and getting her launched, time has not been available for updating the web-site. My apologies for the delay in responding to emails and having For Sale listings posted. Hopefully I can now get back to "normal service".

The number of boats For Sale appears to have increased this year. Not sure if more people selling or this site has a reputation for being a good place to look for Grampians. If you are interested in moving up within the Grampian line, take a look at the For Sale section. Also if you have any spare parts you no longer need, look up the Wanted section where people are looking for masts, sails and other gear.

It is hard to add much to this website if I do not receive input from the owners. The supply of photos, stories etc. seems to have dried up recently so here is another appeal to send in your photos and stories of renovations or trips.

Unfortunately, the page counter supplied by the host has not been working for a while and attempts to restart it have continually failed so I have had to replace with a new counter from a different source. I have had to reset it to zero as Yahoo has for some reason reset many of the statistics that were maintained on the site. My estimate is that there have been about 3,000 hits since the site created.
