One little observation from up in the third balcony, if I may...
Since it's a bit harder to see what control line does what, when viewed thru the dodger, it's a good idea to stick with tradition and keep the main halyard on Starboard side and the jib halyard on the Port side. Not everyone does this, nor is it a 'rule', but when crewing on any other boat it helps to have some transferable nomenclature to shorten the learning curve.
