[C320-list] Replacement handle for rear cabin door

[sail-ability sail-ability]

   Easy to rotate the handle, held on with an Allen screw. I rotated the
   handle on the head door.

   Cheers

     Graeme,
     Answer to first question is NO because it happens to me too.
     I am very interested in the answer in the second question. If no one
     has a
     solution that they share I will work on it myself. My first thoughts
     is
     that a knob might only reduce the number of "catches". My second
     thought is
     to try to turn the latch handle 90 degrees to get rid of the "hook"
     that
     catches clothing. I am going to the boat today to look at it.
