On both of our C250s, there are four snaps in the same place for pouches...On our newest C250, the pouches are in place where the compass and depth meter is...But I cannot find where to get thse or what they are actually called....love to get a set of these for the other C250.

Any ideas?

Is this what you have in mind? (Lewmar winch handle holder) Defender and WM have them.

I just keep the winch handles in the cockpit coaming boxes but...
I can't remember the last time I used them.
By getting the leeward sheet in before the sail fills I am usually over sheeted and am easing as the boat comes on course.
I raise the main head to wind so that is not an issue either.

Each of us develops our own methods of sailing. Some are cruisers who set the sails after a tack and leave them alone until they tack again. Others are very active trimmers, who re-trim the sails with every puff and lull. If you are an active trimmer, you'll probably use the winch handle a lot, especially in strong winds.

If your boat has coaming boxes, then that's the logical place to keep the winch handles. If not, then a holder is a good alternative.

I trim actively, and leave the winch handle in the working winch until just before the next tack. Then I put it in the other winch, tack, and leave the winch handle there until just before the next tack. Since it's almost always in one of the winches, I don't really need a place to stow it in the cockpit. In light air, I don't need the winch handle to trim the sails, and stow the winch handle below, in the cabin.

Rig the boat in any way that's convenient to you.

Try E-Bay for halyard bags. You can get them in many colors and sizes.
