No. are you?

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.

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

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

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.

Jon;

You're sounding an awful lot like Nutys right now.

What, when and where have you ever seen a Halyard end whip a handle out
of a winch that had been broiught back to the cockpit and toss it over
the side?

Give us a brake. I hope you don't intend to keep this troll reply going

A mind is an incredible thing to waste. Don't waste it.

Damn right though. We have color-coded handles on our teaching boats,
along with color-coded people. The red ones sit on the port side, the
green ones sit on the starboard. I prefer to sit next to the red ones
of course. (No, this isn't a political statement.)

On the bay. It happened to us once. I've seen one get whipped out of
pocket on the mast also. No bs. I can't say with absolute certainty
that the lock was truly broken, but the handle did have a lock.

No. Until just before. After, I don't care.

right is starboard and left is port, why would you associate red and green?

Actually, you should shove the winch handle down the front of your shorts
when not in use and pull ot out when it's needed.....
or if that bothers you, stick it in back behind the waistband, but don't
lean over, it might clobber you in the back of the head....

No. What happens is that students forget to control the lazy sheet. It
ends up hanging in the water unless I say something. If the wind is up
it can easily whip around enough to snag the grip on the handle.
