Introduced in 1971 during the golden era of the fiberglass pocket cruiser boom, the Grampian 23 was designed by Scottish naval architect Alex McGruer and built by Ontariobased Grampian Marine. Created as a more manageable, trailerable alternative to the highly successful Grampian 26, the 23footer was engineered to offer families a stepping stone into overnight cruising without sacrificing the robust, "big boat" feel that characterized the builder’s larger models. With a production run that spanned until 1976 and yielded between 300 and 450 hulls, the Grampian 23 remains a recognizable classic on the Great Lakes and the East Coast of North America, prized for its impressive interior volume and structural toughness.
