Grampian 22

Built during the 1970s by Grampian Marine in Canada, this 22-foot sailboat represents a classic example of the era's emphasis on affordable, practical sailing craft. The Grampian 22 was designed as an entry-level cruiser-racer that could serve double duty for weekend sailing adventures and club racing events. With its traditional lines and solid fiberglass construction, this boat earned a reputation for being forgiving and stable, making it an excellent choice for novice sailors learning the ropes. The cockpit layout prioritizes simplicity and safety, while the compact cabin provides basic amenities for short coastal cruising or overnight adventures. Grampian Marine built these boats with durability in mind, and many examples from the 1970s remain active on lakes and coastal waters today. The design strikes a reasonable balance between sailing performance and interior comfort, though accommodations are understandably modest given the overall length. Best suited for protected waters, day sailing, and light coastal cruising, the Grampian 22 continues to attract sailors seeking an affordable entry into cruising or those wanting a simple, no-nonsense boat for weekend escapes. Its straightforward rig and manageable size make it particularly appealing to single-handed sailors.
