it gives you a taste how hard is to see a person overboard who can not wave
his/her arm...

Bob,
With all due respect, floating winch handles seem like a great idea. I
actually have one on my boat, although no one uses it. They all like the
Lewmar and Harken handles better. If we dropped a floating handle over the
side while racing, I’m not going back for it, so it is as good as gone. Even
while cruising, I doubt that you could find/recover one. This Sunday my wife
got up and her cockpit cushion fell over the side. It’s off-white and 18”x36”.
We noticed it within minutes, but spent twenty minutes coaming the river for
it. It was nearly impossible to see, even though it floats fairly high in the
water. It was blowing 15-20 kts, so we had some white caps, which added to our
difficulty. Just when I was about to give up, we found it. I hated to think
of the $ to buy another one. This one was already a replacement for the
previous one that went overboard…

I have one of these:

It floats, it locks, it's red and it doesn't chip the gelcoat when dropped.
