HMS ''Boreas'' was a 28-gun ''Coventry''-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. Built in 1757, she was one of five frigates of the class built of fir rather than oak. ''Boreas'' saw service during the Seven Years' War and took part in two actions at sea. She assisted in the capture of the 36-gun French frigate ''Diane'' in April 1758, and her most famous engagement was the capture of the French frigate ''Sirène'' in October 1760. She was sold out of the service in 1770. ==Construction and commissioning== ''Boreas'' was ordered on 18 April 1757 and laid down on 21 April that year at the Admiralty yards at Woolwich Dockyard.〔 She was launched on 29 July 1757 and completed by 6 September 1757. She initially cost £6,314.9.10d, this rising to £9,193.18.3d when the cost of fitting her out was included.〔 She was one of five frigates of the class built of fir rather than oak. Fir was cheaper and more abundant than oak and permitted noticeably faster construction, but at a cost of a reduced lifespan; the four fir-built ''Coventry''-class vessels that did not get captured lasted an average of only nine years before being struck off.
