I was just browsing the Siren manual and see there is a section on how to use a whisker pole. I have never used one and I am curious if anyone else has and...
Kevin, I use mine a lot in the light winds I get here sometimes. I made mine from 1/2" white plastic with a 1/2" or 3/8" wooden dowell to stiffen it up a...
Neil: We seem to be in the same boat (no pun intended) since I recently purchased a 1973 Siren. I have been replacing all of the old screws and bolts with...

Guys, What is the length of the whisker pole you are using? Am I correct in assuming you are using it with the standard 130 genoa? And last, do you use it...
I saw a couple of posts a while back that stated that the Siren did not have cored decks. My 1974 Siren, at least, has coring under all the cabin top, front...

My '78 definitely has plywood coring in the cabin top, two pieces on either side of the foredeck, and under the cockpit floor. If you installed a vent in the...
Speaking of heavier winds, I'm having two reef sets put in the main. Probably unnecessary, but I figure it's better to be prepared than to WISH I'd had two ...
First post! Really glad to have come across this groups! It seems the Siren has a Canadian cousin that was manufactured in Ontario and Alberta up until the mid...
Now when I think of it I did miss the core, my vent/skylight is forward the mast step. There is a foam core at that point though. When I replaced my grab rails...
The furling jib is all or nothing. It is too light and looses shape rally badly when you try to reef it. I have used it like that but it flops around too much...
I reinstalled my vent just in front of the tabernacle and there was foam with fiberglass on either side. I put 5400 epoxy under the collar and around each...
