Main halyard is, indeed on the starboard side of the mast.

The loom is not attached to the mast. It is a split loom which
is secured around the wires with black tie-wraps on 12"
centers. The wires are attached to the mast using nylon cable
clamps on 18"centers affixed with stainless steel screws lubed
and sealed with tefon trailer hitch grease.

Oh. Where's the main halyard? Other side? Is the 'loom' attached to the
mast?

In that picture three "lines" can be seen.

Starting from forward one can see the wire jib halyard.
In the middle one can see the black loom covering the
wires that go to the masthead(wind instrument, antenna
coax and anchor light wire -currently not in use)
and aftmost one can see the topping lift line.

Satisfied?

only a foot or two long when the sails are hoisted
