The Grinde is a 26.9ft masthead sloop designed by Peter Bruun and built in fiberglass between 1974 and 1989.
580 units have been built.
The Grinde is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
