Hi David; We took the Alberg 22 up to the North Channel. It seems to have just the right proportion of open water for sailing, and islands for shelter. The...
Sounds a) like a great time b) familiar to several cruising grounds Have had the 1000 islands and Lake Champlain all to my lonesome in June Davey HOW THE HECK...

A bit slow to respond but I looked hard at their report for this year. Sad to say my experience with the Siren running considerable distances you'd have a hard...
Jim, Thanks much for the reply. I was fooling with the boat this evening and am pretty well convinced the cam cleats were added later -- the inch of extra...
Pat, Thanks for the reply. Regarding a picture; if you go to the existing pictures ""Cincinnati Midnight Blue Siren/Rigging and Gear/What is it", it looks...
