Hello This is a problem that has been bugging me. I just refinished my Siren recently. In this process I discovered the connection. I must say it is the only...
I once read survey done on a Siren ,which said the onlly design weakness was the deck connection to the hull Held by Pop rivets. Don't cross any oceans with...
Wow! Ok. Thanks for that information. That is an unusual way to attach deck to hull but I guess they thought that it would only a moderate day use boat....
Yea, the mast mount. Mine is held on by a few small screws. That can't be right but it will have to wait for another day. It's survived this long.... Granted...
I am in the process of replacing the roller furling fairleads. As it stands now, the rope is wearing a groove in two spots, the top edge of the front window's...
Hello, The blind rivets are due to the balsa core. they just catch on the deck glass thickness. SO.. if you use a short rivet long enough to penetrate the...
Further to message 1006. Turns out the color match is not very close at all. Needs to be darker. I matched it to the faded color thinking that it would then ...
I took YOYO out for the first time Friday. Huge winds, so my son and I sailed on the jib alone. Great ride, but more about that later. I have a real nice...
Wanted to share some photos of our initial sail of the 1973 Siren we have decided to call "Sugar Bear". ("Lil Toot" didn't seem to fit.) We took her out on...
I keep my Siren covered with blue poly tarp. OK, it's not elegant nor beautiful, but it protects her from sun and sheds water as well. And it was cheap. Jeff...
You can mail (that is the postal mail) your pictures to me, I'll scan them and return them if you like. Email me for the address if you want me to scan them...
This subject was decussed 2 weeks ago.Fulton make an outboard motor bracket for 150 dollars cdn,up to 10 hp.recommended for fresh water use,Garelick make a...
Hello Mr. Middleton...{ I'm assuming it's Mr. ). It's my understanding that when approaching your dock you have a cross wind. If thats the case I would suggest...
Roy, I find the keel down and using the boats tiller-rudder works best. The Siren turns on a dime with the keel down so you get much better control. I like...
Hey How ya doin'? I was wondering in one of your posts U said with spinnaker raised. My Siren is not set up for a spinnaker but I had Genco make me one so... I...
James, adding sail slugs was the single best improvement I made to my Siren. They also make it easier to pull down the sail in a hurry. You can get them at...
Holy mackeral !!!! You really jam a lot of questions into one posting !!!.....HaHa..just kidding around. OK..I've only been sailing for two and a half years so...
THANKS Reefmaker & Kawathakevin for those dockage pointers,Ive been doing it with keel up ,rudder removed & coming in on outboard(mostly sideways)because its...
Roy, Since its a shallow mooring I'd still try to use as much keel as you can get down. I think having the keel down is the most effective for maintaining...
This email thread couldn't be more timely for me. Actually if it would have came up a couple of days before, I might have saved myself some embarrassment....
I took my Siren out on Memorial day. As we left the launch, the wind was in our faces so we had to motor out of the canal into the open bay. We sailed off...
I previously wrote here that I didn't have a keel lock hole, but I fond it. My Siren has an openable fron window, which I think is fairly unusual, but I have...
My 76 doesn't have one either, I figured they were an Extra fitted by the owners to get air into the cabin.But I see some one has offered to give away his...
Thge vent I am talking about is a 4" square pop up vent that was just ahead of the mast ant the top of the cabin. I could look ( I have the orginal order for)...
In addition to keeping the centerboard down to steer the boat better when approaching the shore, I also never crank it all the way up so that it hits bottom...
