Siren 17
9 posts · Joined 2011. #1 · Jun 16, 2011. Greetings! I just bought a Siren 17. The former owner didn't understand much about how she ought to be rigged. I can't make much sense of how to rig the mainsheet. It appears the line from the boom would lead to a small block on the port side of the stern, then to a block on starboard with a cam cleat.

Siren 17
I think the prevalent small boats in Canada (under 20 feet) are the Sandpiper 565 and the Siren 17. We don't see Potters, Montgomery, Compacs, etc. There could be some rare ones but I never saw any of them! Michel Boulet. Ex: "Mari-Bell" Sandpiper 565 (18.5367454 ft) Now: "Papou" Tanzer 16 dinghy.

Siren 17 info...?
2,023. MacGregor 26D London Ontario Canada. Apr 6, 2014. #1. I just acquired a Siren 17. I need sails... I'd also like to put any info about this boat in one easy to find spot. Right now there is a Private yahoo group... So if anyone has sail sizes and boom tent sizes and or drawings I'd love to copy them and put everything together.
Siren 17 as First Sailboat?
The boat is light and has a centreboard so stability is not as great as the larger boats, but it's still safe. The boat is a camper - not a cruiser. You will be able to do some weekending but don't expect much in the way of comfort at all. $2,000.00 for the Siren is a fair price. They hold their value.

SIREN 17: Reviews, Specifications, Built, Engine
SIREN 17 Detailed Review. 1 of 2. If you are a boat enthusiast looking to get more information on specs, built, make, etc. of different boats, then here is a complete review of SIREN 17. Built by Vandestadt and McGruer Ltd. (CAN) and designed by Hubert Vandestadt, the boat was first built in 1974. It has a hull type of Swing Keel and LOA is 5.23.
It's small-boat adventure time
Even early models (Hull #1 appeared in 1974) came with roller-furling genoas and mains, and built-in flotation. The boat's designer, Hubert Vandestadt, clearly intended the boat to go places. The Siren 17 is a popular boat in Canada - over 3,000 of them were made between 1974 and 1987 - but rarely do you see them in the Lower 48.
