Winch Handle

[JoffMac]

Help!
Lost my main halyard winch handle overboard!
The winch is mast mounted, of the "friction band" type, with a release handle underneath. Does anyone have a spare one, or know where i could obtain one?

Not sure exactly which type of winch head you have but I had a couple of barton "U" types made up by a local Blacksmith last year - better and stronger than originals and at about a quarter the price quoted by a well known www.swindlery /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
