About Flexofold
Flexofold develops, designs and manufacture low drag folding propellers for sailboats and multihull yachts. The propellers are sold directly to boat builders as well as private boat owners worldwide.
Dedication and experience
The Danish company was established in 1992 by the dedicated navigator Jack Skrydstrup, who started the business after many years experience in hydrodynamics, most recently as Managing Director of Gori Propellers.
Continous developments
The first Flexofold Propeller was shipped in 1993 and was quickly recognized as a superior product. Not to be satisfied, Flexofold introduced a new blade shape in 1997. The wider blade design and redistributed mass improved both forward and reverse performance. Also introduced in that year was a 3-blade design using similar design parameters.
In 1998, we introduced an even lower drag Racing propeller. This was quickly adopted on boats like the Farr 40 where the absolute lowest drag and good performance under power are required.
In 2008, three new 4-blade propellers was included in the wide product range.
Because of the attention to our original objectives, to design and market the best propellers made for sailboats at competitive prices, Flexofold is being used as original equipment by a rapidly increasing number of boat builders including Beneteau, Dehler, Elan, Grand Soleil, Hanse, J-Boats, Malö, Najad, Swan, X-Yachts and many others.
Made in Denmark
All Flexofold propellers are manufactured in Egtved, Denmark, in a single-purpose factory, equipped with modern CNC equipment and robot technology. Due to our flexible production setup, we are able to manufacture and ship worldwide within few days.
