No. I'm talking about a jib winch for a 90% jib, with a locking handle who's lock has failed. and an Albatross? He is correct though, I have to admit, it is a lot better than a damn political post. Bush sucks. :-) I like bush. |

In the winch... just kidding. We have pockets for them. I've seen winch handles jump out of those 'pockets' , hop over the coaming and do a backflip over the toerail. . You really should put them in a locked locker down below. Scotty, beware the Albatross |
I've been in 50, but then, I knew it was coming. Still, my winch
handles all stayed put. Scotty, beware the Albatross "Jonathan Ganz" wrote From a wind gust? Jon, LSD went out with the '70s.

Many times I've seen winch handles fall out through the cracks in the locker door, fly up the companionway and splash right into the briny deep, lost forever. You should keep them under armed guard in a bank vault. DSK |

Cripes Scott,
Don't buy a Blue one. Jon will make a three page reply about using a Red handle on the Port winch and a Green one on the Starboard. With my single Red handle at least my crew is OK Half the time. A Blue one will blow Jon's Mind, among other things. Ole Thom |
