The Flipper, sometimes called the Flipper Export, is a Danish sailboat that was designed by Peter Bruun as a racer and first built in 1970.[1] [2]
The boat is sometimes confused with the 1970 American Flipper dinghy, of which 582 were built.[3]
The design was built by Intermark Sailcraft ApS in Denmark, with 15,000 boats completed, starting in 1970, but it is now out of production.[1]
The Flipper is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a scow hull, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a removable daggerboard. It displaces 1540NaN0.[1]
The boat has a draft of 2.62feet with the daggerboard extended and 4inches with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
