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?

Main to port. Jib to starboard. Spinnaker to port. I recall reading that
more commonly the main and jib are the other way, but never saw any good
reason to change them.

I've heard people comment that their boat tends to sail better on one
side than the other. I wonder if the halyard placement has anything to
do with that?

No, its the cut of the sail.
