The Coronado 15 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Frank V. Butler as a one-design racer and first built in 1968.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by Catalina Yachts in the United States starting in 1968. The company built 3,800 examples of the design, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

Design

The Coronado 15 is a recreational planing sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with black anodized aluminum spars. The mast is flexible and supported by stainless steel standing rigging. The hull has a spooned plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces Шаблон:Convert. The boat is self-draining and has flotation added, making it unsinkable.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the centerboard extended and Шаблон:Convert with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

For sailing the design is equipped with hiking straps, a trapeze, an outhaul, boom vang, a high-mounted boom and a mainsheet traveler. It has a storage compartment under the foredeck, equipped with a hatch for access. A binnacle with a compass was a factory option, as was a "kick-up" rudder design and sail windows in the mainsail and jib.[3]

The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 91.7 and is normally raced by a crew of two sailors.[3]
