Harken's aluminium winch handles are robust and feature a low-friction ball bearing handle grip that efficiently transmits power into the winch making them the ideal choice for both cruising and racing sailors. They fit all international standard winch sockets and the lock-in mechanism is easy to engage and release with the thumb switch and reduces the risk of losing the handle overboard. Which Length Handle? 10" / 254mm handles are the most comfortable length for most sailors and winch power ratios are based on this length. 8" / 203mm handles grind faster because they swing through a smaller circle, but power is reduced by 20%. 8" handles are ideal for smaller boats where space may be restricted and light air where speed is more important than power.
