Thom, I had one of those red floaters, but lost
it, not in the water, on the road when I had the Mac. I think I will get another one. I believe they come in blue, also. Scotty "Thom Stewart" wrote in message et... Hey Scott, If you're going to get another handle, I'd like to suggest a floater. That is what I did about 4 years ago. It is a little longer and painted Red. My crew always looks for that handle, we haven't lost a handle since. In calm conditions I've used it for a MOB drill. It sharpens the look-outs eyes and the crews response now that thet know th replacement cost. Ole Thom |

jon,
i take sailing seriously..........in a relative sort of way but not to the point where i am neurotic about it. you really should experiment with a sense of humor trust me on this one..............it helps in life. gay? no sorry....not me. and i really don't give a damn if you are or are not although it would be great if you would just quit your're constant bitchin and whining. but than again, i quess you add one of the colors to this newsgroup. so be it. gf.

Perhaps that's what you do when the boat heels on a sudden 40 kts gust? -- Jonathan Ganz (j gan z @ $ail no w.c=o=m) http://www.sailnow.com "If there's no wind, row." |

2nd gay response without an answer
gf. "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ... Thom, you're not thinking clearly. If you're sailing and you need to start the engine, then you discover there's a line in the water, you could be in trouble. It's not a matter of hanging there or being underfoot. Neither is acceptable. I've seen them come out. I've seen people fall on winches, but never on the handles (because they were removed). -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Thom Stewart" wrote in message ... Jon, Not thinking to well. If there is that much line on the handle the Main must be up. If it is up, probably means your sailing. (No engine) Line over the side should be no problem. better than walking over it in the cockpit or getting your feet tangled in it I'm inclined to agree with you about the handle left in the winch. I was taught that, but that was about Sheet winches, which are more active winches. It has carried over on to all winches. In all honesty,Jon, I've lost more handles in the act off inserting and removing them from the winches. In fact, in 58 years of sailing I can't remember ever losing a winch handle any other way. Can you? I've lost my share of them too!! Ole Thom |
