[C320-list] Jib Sheet Catching on Hatch

[Jeff Hare]

I do the same thing.   Pretty much always keep the lazy sheet pulled in so it is at least on the cabin top.

I have the same problem on #1146 (2008). I just pull on the lazy sheet as I unfurl the genoa until the sail has passed the hatch. No problems as llong as I remember this whenever setting the head-sail.

I have a 2008 320.  The jib sheet catches under the hatch cover that is located over the V berth. This happens even if the hatch is shut and locked. It catches under the front corner of the hatch.  Has anyone come up with a way to close the small gap between the deck and the hatch?

Thanks.
