The Grampian 30 stands as a quintessential example of the "more boat for your dollar" philosophy that defined Canadian fiberglass manufacturing in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Designed by Alex McGruer and introduced around 1969, the model was intended to bridge the gap between the entry-level Grampian 26 and the more substantial Classic 31. While the 26 was the company’s volume leader, the Grampian 30 offered the offshore capability and interior volume necessary for extended cruising on the Great Lakes and the North Atlantic coast. It remains a fixture in the used market today, praised for its heavy-duty layup and a beamier-than-average hull for its era.
