I have a sirocco 15 that has been totally restored. Had one like this in1972, and this is also a 72 .
replaced the main sail with a UK white one over the blue one it came with. Algrip painted hull and the cockpit. Sails real good.

Welcome ! Nice that you have completed your project. I wasn’t familiar with your boat. Found this site with a few pics. Is this like yours ? Brad

that's it !
bought mine from a lady in Lawrence Kansas during an ice storm!! ran back to texas gulf coast with a bad snow storm following us most of the way.
after 8 mo. was like new. the bad part was getting hundreds of pounds of soaking wet syrofoam floatation out of the hull. Replaced the floatation with over 400 empty sealed Orzarka water bottles. they are the ones touted to last 300 yrs in land fill.
going to get a tiller pilot for the boat so can set sail solo.
