Grampian 28

The boat was built by Grampian Marine in Oakville, Ontario, Canada starting in 1975 and 107 examples were completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [3] [4]

The Grampian 28 design was later developed into the Intrepid 28 and built by Intrepid Yachts, a division of Cape Dory Yachts, using the same tooling. [1] [3]

Design

The Grampian 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a skeg-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,900 lb (3,130 kg) and carries 3,060 lb (1,388 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with the standard keel fitted and 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1] [3]

The design is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal). [1] [3]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 195 with a high of 186 and low of 204. It has a hull speed of 6.63 kn (12.28 km/h). [3]

Operational history

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Grampian 28 is more contemporary and nicer looking than the other Grampian models... Although it has a fairly high freeboard, it doesn't have the spoon-bow which is characteristic of some other Grampian models. While this 28 footer may not be as plentiful as either the Grampian 26 or 30... This boat has a nice interior layout which includes a quarter berth." [5]
