• Barton 21033 – Floating Winch Handle 10″ (254mm), Locking, Star Socket, SWL 40kg

  The Barton 21033 Floating Winch Handle is a lightweight and buoyant solution designed for use with standard winches featuring international star sockets. With an extended length of 254 mm (10″), it provides increased leverage for improved control during operation.

  Manufactured from a durable moulded composite body with an integral handle shaft, the handle is built for reliability in marine environments. As detailed in the Barton product sheet :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, it features a positive-action thumb locking mechanism to securely engage the handle with the winch socket.

  The floating design ensures that the handle remains visible and recoverable if dropped overboard, making it particularly useful in active sailing conditions where equipment loss is a concern.

  Designed for light-duty use only, the handle has a safe working load of 40 kg, making it suitable for smaller winches and general control applications.
