So you lose another broken winch handle...no great loss.

My concern is not with the handle itself, although that is a good
point. I'm sure Scotty has a spare somewhere.

Actually, that IS the spare. I have a nicer one (Lewmar) for the
cockpit winches.
I need to get another one.

Yeah, if the handle won't come out then what's the worst that could
happen, leaving it in? It's not like you're at risk of losing it.

There is some risk of losing it inside someone who falls.


Must you gay up EVERY post?

do you honestly think that coil is going to 'jump' over the winch
handle?

It's certainly a possibility, but it's more likely that it would

come

off the handle don't you think?

Scooter, I see nothing wrong with leaving the handle in the winch in
those conditions, and looping over the winch is common practice.

Some of the 'sailors' here take themselves a little too seriously.

In "those" conditions it's probably not a problem. In conditions we
see here, it could easily be a problem. I tend to plan for worst case
scenarios, since the conditions here change quickly.


Yep, we put life jackets and harnesses on and rig the boat for heavy
conditions when necessary.
When we're out for a plod around in light conditions on flat water, we
rig for that.

fall off?
your kidding?
if that line fell off, it's not a line in the water you need to worry about.
you may think about the need to activate the epirb.

West. Look at the shadow of the other winch handle (don't tell Jon,
he'll have nightmares).
