"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))[reply]

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)[reply]
