Production
The boat was built by Vandestadt & McGruer Ltd in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, between 1974 and 1987, but it is now out of production.[1]
One of the most successful small sailboats ever built, 3200 were completed during its 13-year production run.[1]
Design
The Siren 17 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a retractable centreboard keel. It displaces 750 lb (340 kg) and carries 130 lb (59 kg) of iron ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.67 ft (0.20 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for manoeuvring. It has a hull speed of 5.19 kn (9.61 km/h).[1][2]
