Flow 19 - Sun and Rain Cover Integrated to the Lazzy Bag
If the boom on your sailboat is too low to install a bimini, here is an alternative to integrate a sun and rain cover into a lazzy bag. It's not usable under sails but still provides great protection while at a mooring or when motoring.

The Perfect Tender for a Pocket Cruiser Sailboat - Intex Excursion Pro K2
Просмотров 9125 месяцев назад
We very much enjoy Intex's Excursion Pro K2. It packs light and quite tight and yet, is made with quality materials which seam durable. It has 3 air chambers and high-pressure valves for safety. Considering that the kit with kayak, hand pump, paddles, etc... is less than US $250, this is quite a deal. You have the choice to deflate it and store it inside the cabin or keep it inflated and tow it...

A good example of using an electric outboard efficiently. With 83% of battery capacity left and the throttle at 300W (30% of full power), the boat still moves at 3kt and we could motor at that speed for another 4 hrs.

Lake Moosehead - Exploring Maine's Largest Lake on a Trailable Sailboat
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Год назад
Moosehead Lake, Maine's largest lake did not disappoint. Enjoying good winds, the lake offers beautiful scenery, great swimming and plenty of wild mushrooms! We made our base at Dunn Point at Lily Bay State park which has convenient floating docks and a protected bay to anchor at night. Best of all, there is very little boat traffic and you get a real sense of being out there.

Flow 19 - Beating into 20kt, 2 reefs, no jib
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
Got a bit off guard sailing down the Magothy River toward the Chesapeake Bay. Encountered 20kt gusts approaching the mouth of the river, too late to switch to the storm jib so, decided to sail with main only and 2 reefs, worked out ok.
Flow 19 - Swing Keel Controls System

One of the unique design feature of the Flow 19 is her fully retractable keel. This allows the boat to be beached anywhere or launched from very shallow ramps. The simple rope and tackle system to control and lock the swing keel is maintenance free and safely accessible from the cockpit.

What did you use as a backing material behind the cheek blocks?
Did you use aluminum or stainless rivets on that gooseneck?
I want to do this. I have no sailing experience, but this seems better than ocean sailing. How much experience do you need?
A thoughtful, aesthetic pleasure.
Thanks for your video. I’m making an identical cover for my Siren 17. I am having trouble finding the adhesive backed snaps. Could you share where you got yours?
Wonderful production! Thank you…
Rumbo: a orejas de burro
Hi, thanks for sharing. I'm considering this motor for my J24 boat, wich is bigger and weight more, dou you have any advice on it? have yopu seen on J24?, wich shaft lengt woud you recomend me? Thanks so much!
"Boat handling and deck controls are simplified as much as possible..." as camera pans deck to reveal lines and sheets covering every surface.
No winches, jib cars or traveler. Yes, just ropes and tackle so, you see them. You still need jib and main sheets and a downhaul… :)
David is a highly articulate sailor & advocate for the Siren17. I have sailed some of his home waters in a 16ft. wood boat. He has some rather expensive gear for the running rigging, BUT less so than a 20ft.or 22ft. boat! Vandestadt & McGruer used to make these boats in Canada...do they still?
No, last Sirens were built in 1987.
I like your bin pulling system best!
Well... That was a cheap fix.
You have a very concentrated focus on hsrdware that works well together. Pricey stuff but more streamlinrd & robust that the original.
We have taken our Siren 17 on pretty challenging expeditions so, it's important to have a boat in tip top conditions with a rig in perfect conditions.
Omg, the idea of hoisting the furling jib into position at the same time as raising the mast is superb! Only I see, that for eg., the use of a highfield lever to tension the forestay is very pricey...your shroud adjusters too look top quality & dollars, dollars dollars! What you do have however is a top class single hander on a short waterline. If this was tried on a 20 or 22ft. boat the costs would be exponentially higher...Beautifully done I must say...😅😂
The shrouds turnbuckles are originals. I was lucky to find an immaculate 1986 Siren, unused who spent 30 years covered in a barn.
Thanks for the useful info. I have that motor on my Sage 17. Based on the serial number, I think the motor is 2009 (also think it came as original equipment on my 2015 Sage). Not being EXTREMELY mechanically inclined/experienced, I'm quite pleased that I've successfully replaced the carb, as well as a frozen clutch bearing, over the time that I've owned the motor. I've also been pondering how to attach a tach (I have one pretty much like yours) to the motor. Maybe I'll try your setup. Does it live there all the time?
I have an ePropulsion Spirit1.0 EVO electric outboard. No carb or clutch on those...
I have only been out twice in my Siren - the first time, I did not try to lock the keel, the second time, I could not see the hole in the keel - that must be why... I thought the keel would pivot to a full-down position that would line up with the lock bolt (that would make sense). Now I see that my keel cable is likely too long, and the keel is swinging past the hole! I'll try your trick of lowering it onto the locking bolt, raising slightly, removing the bolt, and lowering a bit at a time, looking for the hole. (or lowering it all the way, then raising the winch a couple clicks at a time until I find it. I'll likely want to mark the cable somehow, maybe a bit of paint where the cable is just leaving the winch drum, when the keel is lined up with the lock. Thanks!!
When I replaced the cable with a dyneema line, I trimmed it to the perfect length so the keel and keel trunk holes would line up with the keel all the way down. That made is really easy to line up the pin. In any case, in light winds, you don't need to lock your keel, only on windy days when there is a risk to broach or capsize.
Saw you leaving Back Creek yesterday, I think (was crewing on a J/120 coming back to the dock) . Your Flow 19 sure is a nice upgrade from your old Siren!
Cool! Thanks for chiming in. On the Severn, it’s either J or Beneteau/Jeanneau boats. Hope you guys had a great sail.
Does it spin the whole headstay cable? There is not a foil, is there? Or is there a torsion cable in the luff of the sail?
@@tomaszyoung3281 the whole head stay spins. There is also a hoistable swivel (which I forgot to mention….) on the head stay you attach the headsail to. The head sail is hanked on the stay. You get the best of both worlds, you can either douse or furl the sail.
This would make a great home build since plywood is used.
The coach roof is an assembled composite structure and keel and rudders are molded composite parts so, It'd be a bit hard for a home built. There is a slightly shorter day sailer model, based on the same lines that is available as a kit for home built. The Aloes 18. archinavale.carbonmade.com/projects/6146057
This looks like a really fun boat
I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO! 17 FEET IS PROBABLY THE BEST SIZE FOR A COUPLE LAKE AND RIVER CRUISING WITH THE ABILITY TO BE BEACHED. IM LOOKING TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT U FOLKS ARE DOING ONLY I HAVE TWO BOYS WITH ME SO I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE BIGGER THAT CAN BE BEACHED. I HAVE MY EYES ON A WEST WIGHT POTTER 19(feet). IF YOU OR ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH THIS BOAT I WOULD APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK.
Yes, the WW Potter is a good step up from the Siren 17. More room, more forgiving, more stable.
Will you sell the plans ? Have you considered building one out of aluminum . Love the design and all design details.
Reach out to Antoine Mainfray, the architect and boat builder. antoine.mainfray@gmail.com
This looks like a boat that could easily be built from aluminum. Have you had any request for computer generated plans for aluminum flow 19. I would be interested in purchasing plans or a kit as described above.
You'd have to reach out to the Antoine Mainfray, the architect. antoine.mainfray@gmail.com
Of course didn't mention price. Base price 59.000$
Keep a lookout..and dont fall asleep. A pilot doesnt see lobster traps...
True and we have many of those (crab pods) around here on the Chesapeake Bay.
Very cool boat. I love it!!
Glad you like it!
Oooh I want one!
They are built to order :)
Im considering getting this motor for our sailboat as well. What is the length of your sailboat if you dont mind my asking? Is it capable of getting you to hull speed?
Hi, our Flow 19 is 19 feet and weights around 1,200 lbs. Hull speed when not planning is 6kt and with the motor at 100% with no wind and calm seas, it moves the boat at 4.5kt so, close enough. That says, you will get the best efficiency and battery life with power set at around 350W. At this setting, the boat will still move at 3.5kt. Below are power vs speed figures. I have absolutely no regrets getting this electric outboard, it's a game changer. Power vs. Speed (No wind, calm seas) 250w 3kt 350w 3.4kt 500w 3.8kt 750w 4.1kt 1000w 4.4kt
What seats do you have on there?
@@Icemain folding seats from The Moorings, a charter company with which I had a boat years prior. Not sure you can find those anywhere.
Great and informative videos! Do you attach your blue seat cushions (also the ones in other videos with the backrest) to the seats with velcro so they don't blow away?
Yes, velcro it is. Thanks for the kudos!
Love your meals too!
@@maurad5378 good food it’s part of the experience!
Love how you can just beach your boat on the sand. Sweet.
@@maurad5378 for me, a fully retractable keel is a must have, especially when sailing in areas with sandy shores.
Thanks for doing these videos. Not only are they visually well done and edited, but the modifications you made to the Siren are very sensible. I have just purchased one, and over the next year or two, I will likely be implementing most of the improvements you have documented. Safe Sailing!
Good luck on pimping your Siren up!
So simple , but the ropes on the containers to pull them out is an excellent idea .
Hi i also sail a Siren 17. Do you know if the factory put foam in the bow and under the v berths or is it just an air bouyancy?
Yes, there should be foam at the bow and under the cabin settees.
Really nice job! Will try to do it. Where and What should i look for if i want to reinforce with kevlar too? Also do you wrap it around and then put epoxy on it? Can you describe a bit more the kevlar application step, please?
Yes, just a piece of kevlar ribbon impregnated with epoxy wrapped around the based of the PVC tube to secure it to the keel box.
What's is expected cost? And can you install a portable head?
I think base sail away price for the Flow 19 is around 55K Euros. Yes, a porta potty fits well inside the cabin and can be stowed under the double berth extension.
You must beach your boat often, do you have any kevlar strips on the keel?
We only beach the boat on nice sandy beaches but yes, I was considering applying Kevlar felt used on canoes for rougher landings.
got a siren 17 last week, never sailed before but ive always wanted to get into it. Ive been watching you videos to see how things are set up and its been very helpfull.
@@littlerupert1111 congrats! Glad the videos help.
Spectacular. Thanks for the details on purchase and getting to the US. Great upgrade and sporty boat for your type of explorations. Great video too, I think your voice would have been nice for the narration. Rick
Thanks for watching. Still have to make that version with my real French accentuated voice :)….
Formidable. Love your whole style of sailing and enjoying shore pursuits and blueberries. We have sailed out to Grand Island Trout Bay and camped in our Hobie Tandem Island a little trimaran. I think I want to go with your style of sailing rather than pick up a NorSea 27. Small is beautiful. I've also read Why States Fail. Another thing about your style of sail is that you could join in with friends occasionally and cruise together in trailerables. I live in South Africa most of the time but also have a home in Michigan. Enjoy your sea travels and will see you out there. Blessings, Richard
@@BethelHealthBuilders I think our newer 19 footer (Flow 19) is really in the sweet spot and combines, ease of towing/rigging, roomy, great performances and is seaworthy. The Siren 17 was a great started boat though.
This is my kind of sailing. Thank you La Sirene crew for your wonderful documentary. Regards, Richard Gutierrrez
Thank you!
A great upgrade, make safety things easy so people will do them!
A lot of thought went into the design of this beautiful little boat.. Well done!
love it...nice sails
Thanks!
Could you please share a link to your new furler please ? Verry nice vidéo
Thanks for watching. Here is the link. If I would redo the installation, I'll make the furler structural (in line with the headstay with a swivel at the top). Also, no need for the fairleads, just run the furler line to a cam-cleat on the side of the coach roof. www.ronstan.com/us/series-60-furler-only-stainless-st-ball-bearings.html
What product is this? Can you link to it?
Don’t recall but any led self adhesive light ribbon that’s sold in Amazon will work.
No imágenes submarinas??!!
Thank you for this video I am in the process of purchasing my first sailboat and currently looking at a siren 17 The boat I am looking at as the central main sheet do you think it would be possible to upgrade to a system like yours too clean up the cockpit
Yes, it’s a pretty simple main sheet and setup. That’s said, we have a center mounted cockpit main sheet on our new boat and I much prefer this arrangement. Mainly for the ease of control, from both sides with the swivel cleat being down low and easy to release and adjust.
Thank you for the video. Very interesting. Best regards,Stefan.
@@stefanfriberg4358 you are welcome
