Do you know the ropes? One who know sthe ropes
is someone who knows the standards for running rigging
tallships, but it also applies to sloops, ketches, yawls
and schooner.

What side the the "standard" side, port or starboard,
to lead and cleat off halyards:

1. Jib halyard
2. Main halyard

For a Schooner or a gaff rig:

3. Peak Halyard
4. Throat Halyard

too easy (actually I was always a catboat sailor at heart!)
1. Jib halyard
2. Main halyard


I'll just do the tough part.

For a Schooner or a gaff rig:

3. Peak Halyard
Starboard


4. Throat Halyard
Port

That's not a fair question. Anybody who gets it right is Googling it. Unless they happened
to work or train on a tall ship.

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.....

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?
