Talk:Coronado 15

Note left by User:AlbertCharles on article page
"italics" Infobox last updated March, 2010, needs editing. Change "PHRF" to "Portsmouth Number" because the number given, 91.9, is the Coronado 15's Basic Portsmouth Number. See http://offshore.ussailing.org/Portsmouth_Yardstick/Current_Tables/Centerboard_Classes.htm.

Most if not all Performance Handicap Racing Fleet [PHRF] committees would not give a Coronado 15 a certificate or number. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_Handicap_Racing_Fleet:"PHRF is used mainly for larger sailboats (i.e., 7 meters and above). For dinghy racing, the Portsmouth yardstick handicapping system is more likely to be used." Coronado 15 is a planing hull, which larger boat sailors call dinghy.

Had I been able to access the Infobox table, I would have made the change myself. ACR (-- Jprg1966  (talk)  14:58, 11 October 2012 (UTC))

I disagree that Coronado-15 is good for day sailing: With the standard sails it requires the trapeze-acrobatics at winds 3° Beaufort and up. Two of us, experienced, one 205 lbs and the other 160 lbs, without trapeze, were fighting for life at 4° Beaufort, with the mainsail only. At 4° Beaufort, with both sails on, it is un-manageable, with one sail on, it is un-steerable while tacking. Coronado-15 is a racing-only boat, no use for amateurs. I am planning to make mine look like an "OSHA Cowboy" (check Google-Images), by adding a 6ft keel with a 100 lbs ballast plus two rubber floats outrigged to the boat's sides. Then I can use it for day sailing with my family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.51.77.190 (talk) 19:42, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
