The Grampian 23 is a recreational keelboat built by Grampian Marine in Canada between 1971 and 1976 with 450 boats completed.[1][2][3]
The fibreglass hull has a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller. With a swing keel it has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the swing keel extended and 2.36 ft (0.72 m) with it retracted.[1][2] A fixed fin keel was optional.
It has five berths, with a double "V"-berth, a dinette table in the main cabin that converts to a double berth and an aft berth on the port side, under the cockpit. The galley is on the port side amidships, and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 64 in (160 cm).[1][2] The cabin has a poptop.[2] The spacious interior makes the cockpit is relatively small for the boat's size.[4]
It has a masthead sloop rig. For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
It has a hull speed of 6.1 kn (11.3 km/h).[2]
