Scandinavian Marine Named Distributor For Flexofold Folding Propellers In Australia & NZ

Scandinavian Marine is proud to announce its appointment as a distributor for Flexofold sailing yacht propellers throughout Australia and New Zealand. The partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies and signals a major step forward in bringing premium Danish propulsion technology to one of the world's most dynamic and passionate sailing markets. Flexofold, headquartered in Denmark, is widely recognised as a global leader in high-performance folding and feathering propellers for sailing yachts. Engineered for sailors who demand the very best in efficiency, durability, and low drag, Flexofold propellers are trusted by offshore racers, bluewater cruisers, and performance yacht owners across more than 60 countries. Their patented folding mechanism, precision-machined bronze and composite blades, and proven drag-reducing design have made Flexofold the propeller of choice for discerning sailors worldwide.

Scandinavian Marine, a specialist distributor with a deep commitment to bringing Scandinavian marine excellence to the Southern Hemisphere, is uniquely positioned to serve the Australian and New Zealand sailing community. With strong relationships across the marina, boatyard, and dealer network, and a reputation built on technical expertise and outstanding customer service, Scandinavian Marine will offer sailors in the region direct access to the full range of Flexofold propellers, including dedicated sales support, technical advice, and after-sales service. 

A Perfect Match for Australian and New Zealand Sailors

The announcement comes at a time of growing demand for high-performance sailing equipment in the region. With Australia and New Zealand producing world-class offshore racing crews, hosting prestigious regattas, and nurturing a thriving bluewater cruising culture, the appetite for propeller technology that minimises drag under sail while delivering outstanding motoring performance has never been greater. 

Flexofold propellers are engineered to fold tightly against the shaft when sailing, dramatically reducing drag and improving boat speed — a critical advantage for both racing and ocean passages. When motoring, the blades deploy smoothly and efficiently, delivering strong thrust with low vibration and noise. The propellers are available in two- and three-blade configurations across a wide range of shaft diameters and pitch options, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of sailing yachts in the Australian and New Zealand fleet. 

Kevin Wallis, Managing Director, Scandinavian Marine Supplies Australia & New Zealand said "We are absolutely thrilled to be appointed as a Flexofold's Distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Flexofold represents the pinnacle of propeller design — this is a product that sailors already know and trust, and one that we are genuinely passionate about. We look forward to working closely with the sailing community, yacht dealers, and boatyards across both countries to make Flexofold accessible to every performance sailor in the region." 

Availability

Flexofold propellers are available immediately through Scandinavian Marine for delivery across Australia and New Zealand. The full range includes:

• 2-Blade Folding Propellers — the benchmark for racing performance and minimum drag
• 3-Blade Folding Propellers — the ideal balance of performance and motoring capability for cruising yachts
• Saildrive Versions — compatible with leading saildrive units including Volvo Penta and Yanmar
• Spare Parts and Service Kits — ensuring long-term reliability and easy owner maintenance

Sailors, yacht dealers, boatyards, and riggers are invited to contact Scandinavian Marine directly to discuss their propeller requirements, request technical advice, or arrange a demonstration.
