I bought an old boat that does not have those star winch handles. Given I
only paid about a grand and my old winches are fine, I will not buy new winches. They are the sort of winches that have two slots at the 3 oclock and 9 oclock position. The top of the winch looks like it would take a flathead screwdriver. I am told the winch handles for these things aren't made anymore. But if they were, what would they be called? Is there a uniform name that I could use to search ebay and other internet sites??? Are they all Merriman winch handles? Or is there another name??? Much appreciated. |

![]() try Defender Industries in CT 1/800/628/8225 or Nautical Traders in Salem Ma, 978-745-8514. the amount of trouble you might have to get handles for those "antique" winches might make new "modern" winches cheaper! Good Luck.

I just saw your posting regarding winch handles. I see the type you mention
on e-bay often. Most major "sailing" cities like Annapolis, Newport, Baltimore, etc have used or consignment chandeleries. There is one such store in Annapolis that I frequent. It's called Bacon & Associates. I have a 30 year old sailboat, so I often go there for parts that fit the old style genoa tracks, etc. If you need sails, they have a huge used sail loft as well. They can be reached at 410-263-4880 Scott Sauvageot 1974 Cal 25#1651 Indefatigable Annapolis, MD "truebs" wrote in message ... I bought an old boat that does not have those star winch handles.
