                        THE WINCH HANDLE THAT FLOATS

    One of the simplest, smartly thought-out products released this year is 
    the Titan Winch Handle.  With this world-first handle, made of high
    tech  composites, there is no need to lose money overboard any longer. 
    This  super-strong primary winch handle, imported from Australia, is an
    original  application of the new plastics technology for the yachtman's
    benefit.  It  is as strong as its metallic counterparts, and is very
    attractive in  streamlined red or green.  It is non-corrosive and
    competitively priced.   It will, when dropped overboard, continue to
    float in any weather  condition, until you have time to scoop it from
    the water.

    The floating winch handle is the first of a number of innovative
    products  being developed by Titan's dynamic Australian design team
    with a suggested  retail price of $39.95 per handle.  For more details,
