Siren 17 Specifications

The Siren 17 is a micro-cruiser sailing boat, designed to be simple to use and maintain, and affordable. Measuring approximately 17 feet, this small boat is designed for utility rather than comfort, and can sleep two crew at a stretch. Its small size and lightweight build mean it is suitable for coasting in fairly calm weather, and is little suited for sailing far from the coastline or crossing large bodies of water.
