That's not a fair question. Anybody who gets it

Googling it. Unless they happened to work or train on a

He said that it also applies to other types of boats. I

have no idea what
the standard is, but my limited experience suggests to

me that the main
halyard is to starboard, and the jib halyard is to port.

I don't know about
the bits pertaining to boats that aren't sloops. (At

best, I'll get half a
point...)


Our main is to port and jib to starboard...


Mine are both to port (internal halyards)

Ours are internal also...the spinnaker halyard is on the starboard side
also.....
