HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
SIESTA is one of Norway’s most beautiful, iconic classic fiberglass boats with a mahogany superstructure. She was built in Finland in 1965 for shipowner Jan Erik Dyvi. The boat was designed by Olin Stephens at Sparkman & Stephens.
Sparkman & Stephens stood out with all their characteristics and building style. This helped to make the yard famous internationally during the 40s and 50s.
RORC: She is designed and adapted to the British RORC rating rules.
Siesta is a beautiful sea cruiser, with steering wheel, teak deck and beautiful white painted Selden rig (sloop) with double win. A very successful design and has construction number # 1767. The well-known sister boat “Norseman”, was an extremely successful regatta boat that has the most victories in the 1960s and 70s. To be exact, she has won 40 awards out of 50 in the IOR race.
In 2017, current owner Erling Storm & his wife Bente bought beautiful Siesta after being owners of Eileen II for 27 years.
The most beautiful boat they found was the Siesta. They sailed in the summer of 2017, and in 2018 they decided to rehabilitate her at Vindø Marin on Orust.
There, Siesta received a really extensive restoration in the winter of 2018-19.
