Led by the charismatic Alan Helmer, Pat Curry and Wayne Dean, the Boat Flipper brings a unique and comical twist to boat restoration. We believe in the power of entertainment, education, and the shared joy of transforming something old into something extraordinary.  You can often find Alan somewhere on the Sacramento River.

Preserving Maritime History

We go beyond the waves to preserve maritime history. Currently, we are rallying support to save and restore "The Deana," a 114-foot military ship built in 1943 with a rich history. Join us in this endeavor to contribute to the restoration of this classic vessel and ensure its legacy lives on.
