I don't have any specific plans for this season, at least not traveling the boat. I may do some traveling and camping with my bike but will have to see how...
I don't like the keel locking bolt in the Siren - it's too close to the waterline - even below the waterline when the boat is loaded. I shipped a lot of...
I have though about it, but not done so yet... Ol Bill ... to the waterline - even below ... trying to lock it once last ... option of locking the keel ... ...
I have one of the more recent Sirens. Took the mast end cap off, and found out that the top 3 feet or so of the mast is filled with expanding foam insulation....
As it's the off-season, I thought I'd make a wind vane and masthead light, in the off chance I anchor overnight (it's a requirement in Canada, at least). I...
Good luck with that :):) I just use one of those cheap o flags. I haven't bothered with a light because I usually a anchored close to shore in an area where...
... The Sybil L.(1976)don't got no foam in the mast. I have seen big styro- foam balls atop the masts on some Hobies and other cats like that, and it does...
... In the archives, there is old talk of mounting a small fender to the mast above the fractional rig (above the partial mast height jib), alternately I have...
I wanted an anchor light as well and bought one recently. But here's the question: Do you need to remove it all when trailering? By the way Pat, the steaming...
Does anybody sail lake nockamixon? it's a relatively small lake in se pennsylvania about an hour north of philly. it's a state park and they have a marina for...

Reg: I calculate it adds 10 pounds of floatation, which ain't a XXXX of a lot. Of course, if you sealed the mast, the whole length is a big air bubble. Allay:...

Was that me who objected? Either way it isn't going to help on a Siren. Your better off running a spare or the wife's life jacket up the mast, but then the...
A weekend of Speedo's and Vaseline. AND SPANKINGS. Please note if you show up with either a Speedo or Vaseline or go around asking to be spanked, pictures will...
... Oh, so it's just another ordinary weekend, then? (Although, posting pictures of a 60 year-old in a speedo might be construed as "unnecessary punishment" to...
Regs:(Although, posting pictures of a 60 year-old in a speedo might be construed as "unnecessary punishment" to any viewers.) Hear - hear, and you can say that...
Reg: Or you could sail the boat as intended and this would be a non issue. Trouble is even when I try too, I still manage on occasion to get caught out...today...
It seems her wide bottom never gets mentioned. But when a Siren is in high winds once the wind gets a hold of her bottom, your done for, nothing on or in the...
Hi Allay: Nice to see your back adding to our knowledge, I agree with what you said but a couple of questions: What kind of wind are you talking about? I have...
Allay can speak fer himself but my guess is he is talking a good deal more-so (than +40km/h), when no one ought remotely be out in a Siren (as well as some...
Allay: Reg: "Not to the level of the Frostbite Race by any means (at least I don't think) but it was pretty spirited out there non-the-less". OK, I might have...

You are sailing along in the Scottish Isles and you sail up on this puppy - pretty innocent looking huh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Corryvreckan.jpg ...
Reg: My understanding is that when it gets bad, a thirty foot "standing waves" (like a non-moving wall of roaring standing white water rapid) can raise up it's...
