The Skipjack 15 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Harry R. Sindle and Carter Pyle and first built in 1965.
After 1970 the rights were purchased by New Design Sailboats of Benbrook, Texas and that company built several hundred examples before production ended.
The hull has a spooned plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable aluminum centerboard.
[1][4] The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the centerboard extended and 4 in (10 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
[1][4] In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "the Skipjack’s design combines ideas from the Finn hull, Mobjack (wide side decks, flat cockpit floor), and Flying Dutchman (single spreader, mid-boom sheeting).
