Westmarine has some bulkhead sheet bags on sale right now that look like they'd work pretty well: Small Bulkhead Sheet Bag, 12"W x 8"H x 5"D, WM p/n 7882095, mfr's #BP450.

Has anyone tried these? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I've been looking for sheet bags also. My '98 250 had bags that were badly deteriorated from being left in the weather for several years, summer and winter. I'd like to use the same snaps as the old bags to negate the need for new holes being drilled. The present snaps are about 3.5 or 4 " apart. I think a 12" wide bag may be just a little too wide. If you decide to order them please let this group know how you make out.
Thabks,
Joe

I use a trick I learned while crewing on a race boast. We just toss the sheets into the cabin. If we don't do that we just leave them on the bench. My wife and daughter love to lean back on the bulkhead to read and snooze so I am not allowed to mount anything there.

I had small bags on the bulkhead that were allegedly for sheets. They really weren't big enough for the job and got in the way. I hang unused lines from the lifelines and throw the lazy sheets below while underway. The other jib sheet is usually on the cockpit floor within reach of the helmsman as is the mainsheet.
