So, Jon, where do you stow your winch handles?

In the winch... just kidding.

We have pockets for them. Mostly, we try not to use them except when
raising sails. I teach on a 30' boat (mostly) and I try to get
students to think ahead; thus, there's little need for a handle unless
it's a trim issue. We typically don't use a handle when
tacking. Sometimes when gybing, but not always. Depends on the
conditions.
