[C320-list] Mastbase mainsheet block

[Bob Hoyt]

On my 1994 Catalina 320 the mainsheet goes straight to a block at the
center of the base of the mast. The issue is that the sheet gets caught
under the middle hatch as it travels back to a turning block and then the
cam cleat. I realize that I can simply be sure the hatch is open when I am
sailing but this is not always practical, particularly in inclement
weather. I have tried to look at options around the mastbase but haven't
found any. Have others used an eye to divert the mainsheet laterally or
whatever solutions are practical?
