The Lewmar Titan is a 10 inch locking winch handle with a single grip. It is made of composite, which keeps it very light and lets it float if it goes over the side. The maker says it is engineered to withstand a saltwater environment. The same handle is also offered in an 8 inch length.
Our take
This Titan handle is composite, light and buoyant, so a slip over the rail does not mean losing it to the bottom. The locking 10 inch length is the practical detail to check against your winch before you rely on it.
From our buying guide
Harken says its handles fit international standard winch sockets and other makers' winches, except old bronze Merriman-style ones. Length sets the leverage: Harken says an 8 in grinds faster but gives 20% less power than a 10 in.
Check before you buy:
- The real length is what you expect, since lengths are nominal. Barton's 8 inch handle measures 225 mm.
- Locking or plain suits you. Lewmar weighs the security of a lock-in against the flexibility of a traditional handle, and Harken says racers prefer plain.
- It floats, if that matters to you. Lewmar says its composite Titan handles float if dropped overboard.
