The center of foredeck is the best position, not only is it stronger and designed for the forgery it is the best location for end to end jibes. The foredeck person can let the pole hang from the topping lift and slide it from one side to the other. It also provides room to move the jib easily from one side to the other. Some boats have the block attachment forward almost to the stem and moving the jib is difficult. The padeye at the mast is handy to have a snapshackle to capture the topping lift when not in use. the forguy needs to be forward, the afterguy aft in order to lock the pole in place.

Subject: [frers-list]downhaul attachment point
On Persistence we currently have downhaul block attached to padeye in center of foredeck. It has been suggested that we attach block to the padeye that is 2 inches forward of the mast. I note that the center of foredeck padeye has a larger base and 4 bolts where the other is just two bolts.
Has anyone tried this arrangement and/or is there any real reason not to do it? (angle, forces, etc).
Mike
