Most sailors haul their charging cables wound up by hand, or stored in bags. Larger cables cannot be stored efficiently most of the time. The problem is that they are always causing obstruction. Charging generally occurs outside, at the dock, where the cable could get wet, or grimy, from lying on the ground. Handling the cable could get your hands and clothes dirty as a result. Once charging / using is completed, the cable needs to be stored. Apart from making the boat dirty, the cable uses much space and can slide about while sailing. The cable often gets twisted and tangled and the boat gets dirty and cluttered. With the upcoming electric boats this problem gets even more out of hand, as storage space is very precious.
