Sirocco 15

The Sirocco 15, named for the North African wind, is a Canadian trailerable sailboat that was first built in 1970.

Production
The design was built by Sirocco Boatworks in Canada. The company completed 350 examples of the type, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Sirocco 15 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and an iron swing keel. The boat has a cuddy cabin. It displaces 470 lb and carries 75 lb of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft with the keel extended and 0.67 ft with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering and can be equipped with a spinnaker for downwind sailing.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.

The design has a hull speed of 5.06 kn.
