WHAT BECAME OF THE CLASSIC LAUNCH SIRENA

The 1960, Orams built launch SIRENA once made several appearances at woody events and then I believe reverted to a live-a-board, with the occasional excursion as a mark boat for the Hobsonville Sailing Club.

Recently, SIRENA surfaced on the market — and from the listing photos, she appeared to be showing the effects of time and use. So today’s WW story is a bit of a call-out: does anyone know what became of her? Was she sold, and if so, where is SIRENA now?
