My Sunfish is rigged with the main and booms on the starboard side of the mast, I have also seen the opposite, Obviously with my set up the main sets better on port tack. What's preferred?
 
Traditionally it's the other way round. With the sail "full" on the starboard tack and the sail hitting the mast on port. Just loosen the gooseneck on the boom and rotate it 180 degrees. Other than that, I don't know why it wouldn't work just fine the other way round. But, again, the standard way is to have the boom and gaff on the port side of the mast.:D
