Simon Willem Korver (11 June 1940 – 19 October 2009) was a sailor from the Netherlands who represented his native country at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Kiel, Germany. With helmsmen Fred Imhoff Korver took the 10th place in the Flying Dutchman. After the Munich massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics Korver was in doubt if and how to continue. Jacques Stap, the course area coach, finally made him continue to finish the series. Korver was the substitute for the Flying Dutchman during the 1968 Olympics. He was born in Amsterdam.
