The Sirocco 15, named for the North African wind, is a Canadian trailerable sailboat that was first built in 1970.[1] [2]
The design was built by Sirocco Boatworks in Canada. The company completed 350 examples of the type, but it is now out of production.[1] [2]
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 4700NaN0 and carries 750NaN0 of iron ballast.[1] [2] [3]
The boat has a draft of 3.83feet with the keel extended and 0.67feet with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [2]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering and can be equipped with a spinnaker for downwind sailing.[1] [2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[3]
The design has a hull speed of 5.06kn.[2]
