These robust low-friction ball bearing handles match a wide range of cranking needs for both racers and cruisers. Handles feature a ball bearing grip that efficiently transmits power into the winch. All handles fit international standard winch sockets.

Locking vs. Plain
Lock-in handles are easy to engage and release with a thumb switch. Racers prefer plain handles because they are faster to insert.

Handle Length
10 in (254 mm) is the most comfortable handle length for most sailors. Published power ratios are based on this length. 8 in (203 mm) handles grind faster because they swing through a smaller circle, but power is reduced by 20%. 8 in (203 mm) handles are ideal for smaller boats and light air where speed is more important than power.
