First time builder: About to finish the standing rigging and wondering if it’s better to rig the spars main up or royals down? Is this just a matter of preference or is there a reason to choose one over the other?
 
Maybe you explain a little bit more what you mean with "to rig the spars main up or royals down"?
Do you mean the height where the yard arms are installed? There is a difference if the sails are installed or not - without sails the yard arms are lowered
 
Yes, thanks polydoc, I was unclear. I assumed one would start with the main spar and work up the mast but I wasn’t sure, makes sense.
 
I agree with Polydoc to start low and work up. I also try (operative word “try“) to work the running rigging from close to the mast outward to the rails. It helps me from getting my fat fingers tangled in the rigging ;)
