The Grampian 23, designed by Alex McGruer and introduced in the early 1970s, serves as a testament to the era of "pocket cruisers" that prioritized interior volume and stability over raw racing speed. Built by Ontario’s Grampian Marine during the company’s peak years, this model was developed to offer a more manageable and trailorable alternative to the legendary Grampian 26, while retaining the "big boat" feel that defined the brand. With a beam of 8 feet 2 inches, the 23-footer was notably wide for its time, a design choice intended to maximize cabin space and provide a stiff, upright sailing experience for families and novice sailors.
