The Sirius 21 was designed for, and manufactured by Vandestadt & McGruer,
the company which had been the Canadian importer of the American built MacGregor
line of trailerable sailboats in early 1970s. The company, which also built the Siren 17,
obviously knew what people were looking for in a trailerable boat because the Sirius 21 sold very well,
and it continues to maintain its value on today's used market. This boat also has a "pop-top", a
feature where part of the cabin roof can be lifted up and enclosed with a canvas to provide standing
headroom while at anchor. A variation of this boat with a reverse sheer transom was marketed as the
Sirius 22 during the mid 1980s.
