Main halyard I'll just do the tough part. For a Schooner or a gaff rig: 3. Peak Halyard Starboard 4. Throat Halyard Port |

Unless they happened to work or train on a tall ship. Cheers, Ellen |

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...) -- Capt Scumbalino |

Seamanship Question #33
I've seen discrepancies in this area,
however, in most cases you will find the jib halyard to port and main to starboard. 2 points to Capt S. BTW, It never a bad idea to label you halyards. Ever sail on an unlabeled boat? In particular a complicated one? Capt. Scumbalino wrote: Ellen MacArthur wrote: That's not a fair question. Anybody who gets it right is Googling it.
