The Flipper is an American sailboat that was designed by Carter Pyle and Joe Quigg as a daysailer intended for children, first built in 1966.[1][2][3][4]
Named for the period TV series, the boat is sometimes confused with the 1970 Danish Flipper dinghy, sometimes called the Flipper Export, of which 15,000 were built.[5]
