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.....
