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] The design was built by Catalina Yachts in the United States starting in 1968.
The hull has a spooned plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard.
[1][3] The boat has a draft of 3.67 ft (1.12 m) with the centerboard extended and 4 in (10 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
A binnacle with a compass was a factory option, as was a "kick-up" rudder design and sail windows in the mainsail and jib.
