[C320-list] Front Hatch

[Chris Burti]

Simplest solution is to get two 1"x2"x8" pieces of scrap teak. Prop
them upright at the forward corners of the hatch, close it down and
tighten the struts to hold them in place. Then the sheets won't wedge
into the hinge end of hatch. If you notch and round over the outboard
side of the tops of the prop sticks so that the hatch sits down just
below the top of the sticks, the sheets won't hang on the props
either.
