I have nearly completed the rewiring of the mast and was trying to sort out which side of the spreader bar the halyards and the wiring should go on. Does it make a difference? Looking at the bar it looks like the halyards had been on the aft side based on the polishing of the bar, but is that the best way? It seems like whichever side you put the halyards the electrical wires should be on the opposite side to keep from chafing.
