Stus-List Re: halyard/sheet bags

[ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List]

I don't coil my halyards when I put them in the bag. I drop them in the
bag, starting with the bitter end. When I drop the sails, the halyards come
out of the bag without any tangles.

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

I don’t use bags; instead, I use little hooks with a bungy or cord loop to hang 
the lines. This way they dry out quickly. And there is no issue of the mess in 
the bag (spiders, debris).

Hey guys,

What is everybody using for halyard bags for the lines next to the companionway 
and also sheet bags for the genoa sheets.  Anybody have suggestions?  Pictures?

Stus-List Re: halyard/sheet bags

[Dave S via CnC-List]

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.

I have Sunbrella bags hanging below the instruments on either side of the
companionway. They've worked great for twenty years. See an example here:

[Randal Stafford via CnC-List]

Hi Chuck,

I run the tails of my halyards and vang down the companionway, and coil each 
one on the cabin sole in such a way that it can run out freely when needed.  
The tail of my working genoa sheet is usually coiled on the cockpit bench.  The 
sheet length is such that the lazy sheet only has a couple feet of tail, 
usually wrapped around the winch ready for the next tack or gybe.  My mainsheet 
is coiled on the cockpit sole, and my traveler lines are coiled on the bench 
between the traveler and transom.  My spinnaker sheets when not in use are 
coiled on the side deck between cockpit coaming and stern pulpit.

Cheers,
Randy

Concur wish Josh.  Racing the halyards are drop straight down the 
companionway, less chance of tangle.  Cruising they are coiled and 
placed over their winches..
