Welcome To The Grampian Owners Marina

September 22, 2008
I am undertaking my semi-annual clean-up of the FOR SALE Listings. If you have a boat listed you should have received an email from me. If you have not, please send me an email indicating if you want the listing to remain or if your boat is sold.

Once boat is out of the water in another 2 - 3 weeks, I hope to spend some more time updating the website as previously stated. Still looking for photos and stories.

Well Summer marches on. How has your weather been. I know many people have had a lot of rain. Here on the East coast it was July before we witnessed any decent sailing weather and then we had 3 glorious weeks before the rain, fog and winds descended. Since then there has only been an occasional hot, sunny day. I must admit that yesterday those conditions were met and we had one of our best sails ever.

My activity level has been low over the Summer with many other activities besides sailing occupying my time but I am looking to October to get back at trying to get a lot of info added to the site. For that I need everyone's help. While you are out there enjoying the sailing, please take a few photos of your boat, inside as well as outside and send them in together with stories of any trips you made this Summer.

Finally Jimmy Schools who runs the Yahoo Grampian discussion group is looking for expressions of interest in a Chesapeake Bay Grampian Rendezvous in October. Look at the Events page for more information.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer and lets hope for a great Fall.

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.

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.
