Comments about Bernard Bernard Lightweight Floating Winch Handle:
Floats and is lightweight, but I broke this thing in half on a single-speed winch raising my main on a Laguna 22. You'd think it would be stronger than that. I ordered I good ol' fashioned metal one - it won't float, but it also won't fail!

For the J22 this is the best handle for the money.

I just returned from sailing with my Bernard winch handle in two pieces! It broke in half under medium load. I have another Bernard winch handle that I'm going to replace this afternoon because I don't want to risk having another one break!!

The square insert fits my star-shaped winch socket all right, but there is nothing to keep it in place but gravity. I wanted an inexpensive spare, and this will be my backup, but I prefer another floating handle that locks in place.
