FLIPPER
FOLDABLE WINCH HANDLE
www.easysea.org
Italian innovation, claimed to be the world’s first foldable winch handle, designed to help you to tighten and release sheets without having to remove the handle from the winch – or remember where you’ve just put it. Made from high-quality aluminium with 316L stainless steel joints, it features a universal star stud to fit any winch and can be positioned in four different configurations: ‘Closed’, sitting on the winch and allowing you to furl or let out the sheet quickly and smoothly; ‘Half-opened’, in anticipation of impending manoeuvres; ‘Opened’, in readiness to use as a standard-sized lever; and ‘Extended’, to make use of the extra-long 30cm leverage. It comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.
