Bob,
My 1994 Catalina 320 has a cheek block on the deck starboard of the hatch that guides the main sheet slightly to starboard before going aft to the guide blocks under the traveler. I will send you a pic to your private email. I have never had any trouble with the main sheet getting caught on the hatch.
Respectfully,
