Flipper Folding Winch Handle
Every so often a product comes along that makes you wonder, “Why didn’t someone think of that sooner?” So it is with the EasySea Flipper folding winch handle. The Flipper has four configurations: Fully closed on top of the winch to wrap or release the sheet smoothly. Half open makes it easy to use during quick maneuvers or underneath a dodger. Fully open enables it to be used like any normal winch handle. And when fully extended, the handle folds away from the winch allowing for more leverage and precise trimming. Made with the universal star stud to fit any winch, Flipper is manufactured in Italy using CNC milled 6082 anticorodal aluminum for the frame and 316L stainless steel for the joints. Not only ideal for your own boat, Flipper is perfect to throw in your sea bag when sailing on friends’ boats or taking on deliveries or charters.
