Harken 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.
Harken 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. (203mm) handles are ideal for smaller boats and light air where speed is more important than power.
Harken SpeedGrip Winch Handle:
SpeedGrip handles are designed for the serious racer and effective in both light and heavy air condition. 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.
