Mounting on the spreaders is the way Clarke McKinney at Quantum Sail Loft in Solomons recommends doing it. He also suggests higher is better, something to consider if you have double or triple spreaders. My current configuration is on the mast between the bottom and middle spreaders. The height causes the aft most part of the jacks to be ineffective (too low) and the width causes the head to get easily tangled when raising.
