Our take
Everything about the Grand Sturdy is dictated by the canal. The hull is steel because lock walls and quays are unforgiving and a scrape should be a scratch, not a hole. It displaces rather than planes, because at six and a half knots on a waterway there is nothing to gain from more. Air draft is kept to about three metres so European bridges are not a route-planning problem. The single 110-horsepower Yanmar is deliberately modest and buys, with 750 litres of fuel, an autonomy counted in weeks rather than days. The AC designation means Aft Cabin: the owner's cabin sits right at the stern, separated from the forward guest cabin by the saloon, which is the layout couples ask for. It is not an exciting boat and is not sold as one — it is built to a standard that makes a Dutch canal winter a non-event, and resale values in that market are famously firm.
Worth noting
- Welded steel hull — built for lock walls
- About 3 m air draft: European bridges are no obstacle
- 750 L fuel at 6.5 knots — autonomy in weeks
- Aft owner's cabin, separated by the saloon
