Coronado 15
Description
The Coronado 15 (often abbreviated as C-15) is a classic American sailing dinghy designed by Frank V. Butler as a one-design racer. Introduced in 1968, it's a planning hull sailboat built primarily for performance and racing, with over 3,800 units produced by Catalina Yachts before production ended. It's known for its lively handling, fractional sloop rig, and suitability for club racing and youth fleets, though it's also used for day sailing. The boat remains popular today, with an active national class association hosting regattas, series races, and tuning resources.
