Harken Unveils Superior Tide Changer – The Grip&Go Aluminum Winch Handle

Published: 08 Nov 2025
Winch operation just got an upgrade with the advent of Harken's Grip&Go Aluminum Winch Handle, incredibly lightweight and swift to use.

Gone are the days of struggling with your winch as Harken revolutionises the nautical world with the advent of their Grip&Go Aluminum Winch Handle. Crafted to take convenience to a whole new level, the Grip&Go Handle ensures a faster, easier, and more efficient sailing journey. As strong as it is lightweight, the Grip&Go harbors the promise of making grinding winches feel as smooth as spreading butter on warm bread. Race enthusiasts and relaxed cruisers alike will find the Grip&Go a welcomed innovation, brilliantly transforming racing tactics and cruising confidence in equal measure. The heart of the design lies in the patented locking mechanism that facilitates effortless locking in and out of the winch. The ergonomically designed grab bar enables one-hand operation – a simple squeeze with the palm to unlock, and an easy release for a guaranteed lock. As if reinventing the winch handle wasn’t enough, Harken expanded the reach of the Grip&Go by integrating their unique SpeedGrip handle technology. This allows independent swivel between the ball bearing knob and handgrip, which fosters rapid trimming during low loads, and compellingly powerful when the high waves necessitate two-handed grinding. And it’s not just in functionality that it excels, tipping the scales at just 605 g (21.3 oz). The Grip&Go keeps your boat’s pace high and its weight low. The future of winching has arrived, and it’s lighter, more efficient, and swifter than ever. The Harken Grip&Go Aluminum Winch Handle is available for order from Harken’s website and through various dealers.
