Funny story about dropping halyard tails down the companion way hatch:
We did that on a custom 2 toner back in the early 80’s until a tail got caught
in the prop shaft. The 2 toner was stripped out enough down below that there
was a small gap behind the engine box.
After that I always checked before dropping the tails.

My 42 has winches around the mast for halyards. When in use,
we coil line around the winches. When not in use, there’s not much to store.
My main sheet, Cunningham, main outhaul, chute downhaul
(foreguy), and traveler control lines all lead to the front of the cockpit.
Like others, we just let them hang down the companionway when in use. When not
in use, we coil lines around winches. An issue someone pointed out to me is
that one of our fire extinguishers is mounted in a location that a hanging line
could grab it. Haven’t settled on a solution for that yet.

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?
