It depends on where the turning blocks for the halyards being led aft are located. IF they're attached to the mast foot, having the exit slot just above them would make sense. If they're mounted on the cabin top, you probably want the exit slots a bit higher up so the line leads fair to the blocks.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
