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 470 lb (213 kg) and carries 75 lb (34 kg) of iron ballast. [1] [2] [3]

The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the keel extended and 0.67 ft (0.20 m) 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 5.06 kn (9.37 km/h). [2]
