Nope, here the floating handles are red & green....some people need
prompts.


makes sense, keep the red one in a port winch and yada yada. Here
they're red and blue.

No. I'm talking about a jib winch for a 90% jib, with a locking

who's lock has failed.

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

Perhaps you've never sailed in conditions where 40kt gust happen
without much warning.

Are you nuts? 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.

You must have some rich friends. I've never seen a trawler big enough to
have an ATM machine on board, much less a whole bank.

Bwahahahahaha!

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.
