Ball Bearing Handles
These robust low-friction ball bearing handles match a wide
range of cranking needs for both racers and cruisers. Handles
feature a ball bearing grip that efficiently transmit power into
the winch. All handles fit international standard winch sockets.
Locking vs. Plain
Lock-in handles are easy to engage and release with a
thumb switch. Racers prefer plain handles because they
are faster to insert.
Handle Length
10 in (254 mm) is the most comfortable handle length for
most sailors. Published power ratios are based on this length.
8 in (203 mm) handles grind faster because they swing
through a smaller circle, but power is reduced by 20%.
8 in (203 mm) handles are ideal for smaller boats and
light air where speed is more important than power.
SpeedGrip
SpeedGrip handles are designed for the serious racer and
effective in both light and heavy air conditions. The unique
grip permits low-load fast cranking using the palm, and
powerful two-handed grinding when loads are high. The
low profile B8ASGLP is made for fast, one-handed cranking
where speed is the concern, not power.
