Sailing Uma loves it!
"After loosing 2 winch handles overboard, we were looking for an upgrade. There had to be something better out there than the status quo.
We've now had these easysea handles onboard Uma for over 2 years now. Love them! They've stayed in our winches the entire time.
No more taking a handle in and out, catching a line on it, loosing it, sliding around the cockpit. These easysea handles are super easy to use.
They've held up well and are made to withstand the harsh ocean environment. Looking forward to years of hard use to come.
Cheers!
Dan + Kika."

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 770 reviews.
I have lewmar 30 and 60 hatches on my moody 336. Like many boats with these hatches, the deck slopes away from the hatch base and the non slip grp begins close to the hatch base. Two problems; 1.. the curve of the deflector is not compatible with the corner curve of this popular hatch and the slope means the deflector angles away from the hatch. 2.. the proximity of the non slip surface to the hatch means that the 3m vhb tape is unlikely to grip. For me this has been a waste of money . Also a significant delivery charge and some delivery delays and communication problems.
Rope Deflector – Porthole Fairlead Protection System
Store owner replied: Hi, we’re sorry the Rope Deflector wasn’t suitable for your setup. The product images on our website show a Lewmar Low Profile 44; in your case, the main issue seems to be the limited smooth surface available for the adhesive. Our customer care replies within 24 hours, while shipping costs are set by the couriers and we already cover part of them for non-EU deliveries. We’re launching a larger version and would be happy to send you one free of charge.
Great product, very easy to fit, look good and my crew are happy they are no longer getting sliced in half by the rails. I have a cheeky back rest too when using the tiller extension.
Well made and easy to use!
She likes the new pole!
Maybe a bit sturdy/heavy The head is on the big side… The velcro fasteners is not impressive So all in all, still a good product! Brgds Jan
Looks like a great design and I'm sure it is going to be useful. Unfortunately, the rubber part fell of before I hade a chance to try it out.
Store owner replied: Unfortunately, this came from a defective batch that has already been withdrawn and replaced. Our Customer Care team has also taken care of your case directly.
They are really awesome
We have six of them now and are happy🤗
Hi, Problem solved ! Before we used to put an elastic around our hatch always afraid to forget to put it on. Stress gone ! Thx for the good tip ! We will be sure to spread the word :-) Michel S/Y TEQUILA

Love it! Multifunctional, light, easy to store and rigid.
Very good service, arrived on time and they work perfectly
Nice product, well tought with the protecting edge. Size is correct. See how this part will hold over time
Perfect fit for my winches
High-quality, but has to wait for the next sailing-season…
I love it!
I’m very happy with my two new Olli rings. One size bigger than the older Ollies I have used during the last two seasons.
Olli™ - Anti Shock low friction ring aluminium
Store owner replied: Hi Claes, happy to hear that! Fair winds
They are easy tot install look beautifull and great to use. The only problem is that the different sites aren’t available at the same time. See the Photo. I want to make the alternative fore the violin shaped combination but only one size is available. And to be honest the packaging is over the top. What About sustainability. It really looks Nice and feels like a present but it’s not really 2025. But I’m very happy with them
Olli™ - Snatch and Anti-shock block
Store owner replied: Hi Jacqueline, thanks for your kind words and your tips. We're now developing S and L sizes, so they will be available soon :) If you’d like to ask for help from our sailor community, just join in! Simply type “easysea community” in your search bar and enjoy.
These soft snap shackles work great! No longer using my old metal ones that always have corrosion on it.
Olli™ - Snatch and Anti-shock block
Store owner replied: Thank you Carlos!
This winch handle works exactly as advertised. Yes, they are not cheap, but they are very useful and make our sailing adventures more enjoyable.
Flipper™ - Foldable Winch Handle
Store owner replied: Hi Claude, we're really happy to hear your kind words. Wishing you fair winds for your sailing adventures!
These snatch blocks were the perfect solution for the rigging of my code zero on a FP Helia 44.
I don’t have any pictures now But I will next week. I want to order more.
Works great And a Nice soft touch to the yacht as I used as a barberhauler
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
It is very useful and makes maneuvering easier
Very robust, works great!
Works really well for my tack line!
Love the Olli rings! They protect the boat from any other ring we have tried. They are also quieter than the other rings we have used. Very highly recommend to all racers and cruisers. We use them on a TP52 and will never use another ring!
Love it!. I Purchased One but I’ll buy another one to avoid mounting and dismounting handles in every Tack. Good idea and Product
These make single handed sailing so much easier!
Perfect fit for my Lewmar 50 self winding winches...
Everything ran smoothly..... unfortunately did manage to film. Sorry.... Next time!
They are onboard but boat still on the hard. Launching in April.
Best Block ever!
Amaizing
New sheet with Oli and soft shackles for our genoa. Ready for national 2025 ORC season and training hard for European and Copa del Rey next July. So far so good
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. ☆☆☆☆☆
