I stand corrected!
It was the Sanibel.. AKA Captiva..
I liked it a lot..
Pretty boat,
but that bow area..
They change names so often I get confused..
Did the Siren 17 become a Fox 20?
I tell you it is hard to keep those things straight..
Sorry all you Siren owner's.. I take it all back..

(or 18?) I had the opportunity to look at a few Sanibels over the years and
sailed one. It did not sail on its side as you described, but your other
descriptions are pretty much on the mark. Some of the earlier models did
have a
problem with oil-canning and delam in the bows. Matter of fact, anyone who
knows
them and is looking to get one will always study the bow area carefully
first. If
it looks ok, the rest of the boat probably is too.
Sanibels are pretty neat boats, lots of character like our Potters. GREAT
amount
of cabin room! >>
