Thanks!

If you have the ability to store them below deck I would say that is the best way. If you don't have below deck storage for them you can also lay them down bundled together fixing something over the tips so that does not get messed up. If that's not an option then make sure you have very well secured leashes connected to ANYTHING you don't want going in the drink. Trust me you cannot have too many leashes.
