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 photo review of Rope Deflector – Porthole Fairlead Protection System

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.

Customer photo review of Spira – The Twistable Guardrail Cover

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.

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.

Customer photo review of Olli™ - Anti Shock low friction ring aluminium

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.

Store owner replied: Hi Claes, happy to hear that! Fair winds

Customer photo review of Olli™ - Snatch and Anti-shock block

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

Customer video review of Flipper™ - Standard Foldable Winch Handle

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

Customer video review of Olli™ - Anti Shock solid ring aluminium

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!

Customer photo review of Flipper™ - Standard Foldable Winch Handle

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. ☆☆☆☆☆
