Operational history
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Grampian 28 is more contemporary and nicer looking than the other Grampian models... Although it has a fairly high freeboard, it doesn't have the spoon-bow which is characteristic of some other Grampian models. While this 28 footer may not be as plentiful as either the Grampian 26 or 30... This boat has a nice interior layout which includes a quarter berth."{{cite web|url = http://sailquest.com/market/models/gramp28.htm|title = Grampian 28 |accessdate = 24 July 2018|last=McGoldrick |first=Michael |work = Sail Quest|year = 2018|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220322013232/http://sailquest.com/market/models/gramp28.htm|archive-date= 22 March 2022|url-status= live}}
