I've just found your post on this site. I thought you'd like to know I have this dinghy.  I bought her off a guy at the Weaver Sailing Club about 7 years ago.  I sail her with my wife and grandson, still on the Weaver.  It would be great if you could tell me some of her history.

I would like to find my first Grad (1536 Buttercup) and get out the petrol and a lighter!

But my second, Warrior was lovely!

Would be great to do some more Grad stuff.  Kids about the right weight soon!

Alternativly any one know of a Alpha grad rotting away in a dinghy park that needs disposing of? Or anyone willing to lend me one i have a suite of sails avaliable just not the boat.

Cheers

The Grad has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years and has almost entirely moved on to the big top main. I mention this as your old suit of sails probably won't be the equal of the new sail plan.

 

My view is that in their upgraded form they make a perfect junior, or parent/child development boat; especially on small waters

I wouldn't mind finding 2718 if anyone knows where t might be!!  My Dad bought it and renovated her for me in about 1990 (ish) I would love to get hold of her to race with my daughter instead of the mirror!!
