Hi Claude, we're really happy to hear your kind words. Wishing you fair winds for your sailing adventures!
EAST COAST SAILING UK (Rob - YT) Such a great product. After losing countless winch handles overboard, these winch handles don’t need to be removed during manoeuvres which means they stay put . When the box arrived, the packaging and the product has all the signatures of an expertly crafted item. I also love the folding handle which gives you some extra leverage when the wind conditions grow, and I like it windy 😎🌊 my only criticism, I wish you had more products for sale 😉👌 Rob ECS
I am very pleased with the new Flipper easysea handles. It made a big difference buying 2, one for each side and not having to remove them all the time when putting the rope around the winch.
They are expensive but they are good quality, so you get what you pay for.
I would definitely recommend them 👍.
Im in Australia and postage from Europe was very fast. ☆☆☆☆☆
Great handles to use with mainsail. Very easy to to trimm adjust and tack .
Using in a Comar Comet 41S.
I'm going to be using and adapt to this new concept, until summer and ORC European Championship in Palma /Copa del Rey
I single hand my 30ft Express most of the time and have lost 3 handles in the last 2years and have gotten the sheet stuck in the handle trying to add a wrap. I only have a few seconds to pull off a tack and moving the handle from one side to the other is the problem.
But...Not anymore right Flipper?
Very good.
The Flipper is well designed, sturdy and the dimensions are ideal for my headsail winch (40 size). When sailing solo, anything that makes the operation of the vessel easier and thus safer, is welcome. I'm looking forward to many years of service from my Flippers.
By the way, I first saw the Flipper on the 'sailing UMA' YouTube channel. First I thought the price for the Flipper is a bit high, but now, since I have them, I wouldn't be without them, despite the price tag.

Este año con flipper, nuestas maniobras son más fáciles.
Recently I received two Flippers and was anxious to try them on my Beneteau 42s7. They worked great, actually better than I anticipated. Some of my sailing buddies remain skeptical but they will eventually come around. The quality is superior, their functionality is excllent, and their easy to use, hand friendly action make them pleasing to the hand.
The Flipper is a game-changer! It's easy to use, and one of its standout features is how it stays securely on top of the winch without blocking sheet removal—something I don't like about the traditional ones. The construction and materials are high quality. We are happy with our 2 flippers and highly recommend them to all sailors.
Very convenient folding handle for a winch. I am very satisfied, it works flawlessly. From now on, every winch on the sailboat has its own handle, which I set up and stow away just ones, before and after use. The thing really works!
Me encanta Flipper! Estaba buscando unas nuevas manivelas para mis winches y estoy súper contento. Facilitan mucho las maniobras de Virar y trasluchar porque no necesita quitar las manivelas del winch para largar las escotas. También es muy útil poder usarlas en los modos: normal o extra largo, con el que podemos cazar la escota con más fuerza.
Los materiales son de calidad y el diseño está pensado para facilitar el trabajo del navegante.
Recomiendo Flipper 100%
Flipper is a great tool. Useful and practical for absolute beginners through experienced sailors. You can leave it on the top of the winch without losing risk. Excellent, the extended position for the "blacksmith maneuvering" when you need real power to strong mainsail or whatever. Great Job, Guys. Recommended.
Ordered it in Italy, I live in Holland and delivered within a week! The duo pack is the one to order, no more switching when tack.
Super handles, innovation goes on and sailing is more fun. Mark
The Easysea winch is a great solution for the winches under our dodger. I really like that it stays on the winch but folds in on itself to minimize its footprint.

I love it! You simply forget about having it on the winch. You can do all the maneuvers without ever taking it off. It is there ready for you whenever you need it.
I have been using them for two years now! Super
Un'idea eccezionale tramutata in un'efficiente realtà! La maniglia è davvero una rivoluzione, permette di risparmiare tantissimo tempo soprattutto nei winch che servono più cime o quando si ha la necessità di regolare spesso la cima.
Sailed with it for the first time over the weekend. Works great! Versatility of positions is amazing. My only mistake was not ordering two! But I am back on the wait list and looking forward to being able to leave two permanently in place, never again having to ask someone to pass me a handle.
Andando spesso in solitario o comunque in equipaggio ridotto o poco esperto , mi semplifica molto la conduzione della barca a vela, tanto che praticamente ne possiedo uno per ogni Winch
I purchased one Flipper Foldable winch crank to see how it would work on my Beneteau Frist SE 24 sailboat. We had almost lost a traditional winch crank overboard and so the Flipper seemed to be a potential solution. Upon receiving new Flipper crank (the order-to-USA delivery was very quick), I found the materials, design, and workmanship of excellent quality. The Flipper crank worked great on a recent sail - it was secure in the winch and allowed un-incumbered winding of the sheets, which is a great advantage over the traditional winch crank. So after the successful trial if the Flipper crank, I order a second Flipper. In summary, the Flipper is of excellent quality and works extraordinarily well - I highly recommend the Flipper Foldable winch crank.
