Default the sheets are middled

Not two separate sheets as in separate ropes or lines. The line is
continuous but doubled in half with each end leading somewhere. In this
case port and starboard if for example you are attaching it to a fore and
aft jib. The middle of the line (where it is bent) then attaches to the
sail. Think of it as thread doubled (or middled) through a sewing needle.
