Same - when sailing (often singlehanded) my main halyard is hung over its starboard side cabin-top winch in a long, orderly coil. When I need it, I carefully drop that coil into the cabin sole, so that it can run out freely, turning around the winch, and through the clutch.
The port-side roller-furled genoa halyard is luggage-tagged around the dodger frame to keep it ready but out of the way. I would re coil it and treat it similarly to the main in in the event I had to douse underway. Fortunately, since I sorted my furler jams this hasn’t often been necessary. Agreed with others,I think halyard bags would be a nuisance on this boat. Plus, I hang my binoculars where a bag might otherwise hang! Genoa sheets I coil and hang on their winches, drop on the cockpit sole to tack. Starboard-side Furler line is luggage-tagged on the pushpit, re coiled and carefully dropped on the cockpit sole when required. This is cleated on a rail-mount cleat on the pushpit located after a ratcheting block by the forward pushpit base. In this way I can either haul on The furler line directly or, if it’s really blowing, horse-and-tail with the ratchet block taking the load. This seems to be necessary more often of late - stronger winds or advancing years. Dave 33-2 windstar.
