Welcome to 'The Grip'!

'The Grip' also known as 'Gripster' is a Skiff 38 Yacht built in 1990. She was originally named 'Pol' and was one of two boats built by Brian Perry to a David Payne design (the other boat originally called After Burner and now known as 'It Happens'). She was conceived by two 18ft skiff sailors as the ultimate cruise/racer.
