ABSTRACT:
A floatable marine winch handle is disclosed that is suitable for use on sailing vessels incorporating the utilization of manual sailboat winches required for the raising of heavy cloth sails. The floating marine winch handle is comprised of a hollowed tubular design which is rigid enough to withstand the necessary stress requirement and is of light weight which enables it to displace its weight in water thereby rendering the winch handle retrievable when accidently dropped overboard from a vessel.
