[C320-list] Jib Sheets Jamming

[Kurt R. Budelmann, M.D.]

Chris,

My sheets also occasionally jam at the base of the shrouds; and catch on the forward hatch if I do not keep some tension on the slack sheet during tack/jibe.

Have you had your genoa sheets jam at the block near the cockpit due to line twist?

  I wonder if this is something Catalina fixed. I've
  never had it happen. So, I just started paying closer
  attention to the thread and noticed that the recent
  posts all involved 600 series models.

  Anyone with 800 or newer hulls having the problem as
  well?

  My thorn in the thumb is the sheets catching under the
  forward hatch when tacking single handed. Anyone
  figured a simple solution other than the obvious
  closing of the hatch?
