Lewmar Lite Touch Winch Handle - it floats!

by Lewmar on 25 Mar 2009 Lewmar has released its new Lite Touch Composite Winch Handle, developed using the latest winch handle technology providing an easy to use, lightweight yet affordable winch handle that floats.

Constructed from strong composite material for extreme rigidity, the Lite Touch features a push button locking mechanism and PowerGrip handle. The Lite Touch uses a universal bi square designed to fit all current manufacturers' winches.

Its plunger operated locking mechanism is easily identifiable and accessible, which means no more fumbling to insert or release the handle. Just a push of the yellow button locks or releases the handle.

Lewmar's PowerGrip handle offers an easy one or two-handed operation and its bright yellow cap also makes it easily identifiable. This composite winch handle will not damage the deck if dropped and will float should it be accidentally washed overboard.

The Lite Touch is available in a 10' (250mm) standard handle length for maximum power ratio in all winches.
The Recommended Retail price for the Lite Touch Winch Handle is: £36.75, €50.75, US$75 & AUD$88.50. More at www.lewmar.com
