If you look carefuly at the pictures of the underneith frame at the SubGroup it is curved with a 1/2 curve for each side of the centerboard, the plywood on top...
I used marine spar polyurethane on mine w/ many coats which you must lightly sand between. But don't do on a rainy day, & don't do in the sun. Hot day in the...
I just bought a '76 Siren 17, I am the 4th owner and I'll be taking her out for the first time tomorrow. I'll probably just stick to the Buffalo small boat...
Congratulations Michael! Nice boat. I have a '75 with center cockpit sheeting. The builder changed the rigging a few times - transom sheeting, transom sheeting...
You are a handsome devil aren't you !!! Congradts on the boat. Bad news is your boomvang is missing there are lots of places to get one if you need help...
i have had some water build up in the bottom of the cabin on my siren. nothing to serious but it builds up after sailing for about 30 minutes. any ideas of how...

Check your keel bolts. Washers dry out. Then check the seal under the keel cable hole. The keel cable should be rubbing on a bolt not FG. It's common to find...
I sailed her for the first time today, I did it singlehanded and it's really tough so I probably won't do that again. I have a few issues to sort out, the...
Hi Michael, I think that when you have the equipment issues ironed out that you will find that it really isn’t that difficult to single-hand a Siren. I...
Several possibilities, a good bet would be the seal on the keel bolt. Take side walk chalk and make a line with a dark colored chalk under the bolt on the...
A strong second is that you might have a hole in the scubber trunk found in behind and under the companion way door bulkhead. If you are moving along pretty...
We might mention to not impale yer finger on any meathooks on the keel cable while feelin' around in there. That do-R-smart, done that one time, and didn't...
... it's really tough so I probably won't do that again. I have a few issues to sort out: 1. the rudder will not stay down so I will have to figure out ...
... The cleats didn't spring back like they are supposed to, but I took them apart last night and fixed them by placing the springs back where they are...

I missed the detail on the underneath frame, and yes, a close up pic or two would complete my mental picture. I also haven't quite figured out how your third...
Can't do a little (very little) filing with a triangular needle file on the teeth? OB The above is NOT advice, it is only informal web chat; completely at your...
The third board has a single leg in the center to the bow side end, it is curved on the bottom to saddle the centerboard trunk to make the table level. That...
I just bought a 72 Siren and am wondering how the Boom is SUPPOSED to attach to the mast. I can see a square key-way in the boom end as if there is a part...
A picture is worth a thousand words but... There were several different was that the mast was rigged. I am thinking that if you have a 72 that it may be the...
Recently, it seems that when my Siren heals hard in a gust that a single "clunk" type of noise sounds like its coming from the centerboard case. Does anyone...
Most center boards with a swing keel do the bump on a sudden change. If they didn't they'd jam up. But changing the keel bolt should be done once in a blue...
You're right! We don't want hot coffee on anybody's lap. Specially not my wifes! She's only been out three times on Tango. The pics would be very much...
