Seamanship Question #33

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) Scotty |

Mine's the same Katy (main to port, jib on starboard), including the spin halyard! Maybe it's just Canadian and French sloops, what about yours Dave?

They exit the mast, run through a turning block, then the clutche, and to the winch. Not the best photos but these show it. http://community.webshots.com/album/554094220eqXiTh [I MG]http://thumb1.webshots.net/t/28/28/6/25/69/21396256900938 94541jlhjyJ_th.jpg[/IMG] |
