Siren 17

[1] The Siren 17 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass and foam flotation, with mahogany wood trim.

It has a fractional sloop rig, with a hinged mast step and jiffy-reefing, a transom-hung rudder and a retractable centreboard keel.

[4][5] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Siren is a good design for an overnight cruiser for two adults and two small children.

Versus her comp[etitor]s, she has the lowest SA/D, making for relatively good stability, but at the expense of light-air performance.

Space is allocated in the cockpit for a gas tank and storage battery—though its aft location may not be optimal for proper hull trim.

With a displacement of only 750 pounds, launching, hauling out, and towing this boat is an extremely feasible proposition with a mid size car.
