Title: Winch handle? Newbie question
Post by: taragod on March 18, 2013, 11:15:33 AM

Hullo! I'm trying to buy a present for one of your fellow Pearson 323 owners. I know nothing about boats, however, and am looking for expert advice.  :D Specifically I am hoping to buy one of the "handle things" you put into, I believe, the winch to tighten the sails. Where would I buy such a thing and what exactly is it called? He lives in Miami. I'm in NYC.

Many, many thanks!!!

Go to the DEFENDER MARINE website. There you will find many winch handles. An inexpensive "floating" handle will be greatly appreciated and won't break the bank.

The most expensive winch handle can go overboard. A nice floating one can be recovered.

I've got three beauties crew have "slipped" over the side. One keeps coming BACK!
