[C320-list] Jib Sheets Jamming

[Stanley Rogacevicz]

cb,
  I blame it on my slow and sloppy single handed (even when my wife is
on board) tacks, but I had the sheets jam in the forward hatch front lip
even when closed maybe 5-10 times in 6 years. A small number but the big
deal is that you Have to go forward to un-jam it. The places I allways
expected jams like the guarded chimney and solar vent on that front
hatch - Never. Go figure.

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?
