We had a similar, although not precisely the same, problem with our C 30 several years ago. We found that when the rig was in racing tune, the head door would not close properly, and would often launch itself in an unwanted attempt to close itself at high velocity whenever we were on a port

I wouldn't say that's the opposite problem, that's the same as my situation. Maybe you were referencing a couple of the other posts though where they had the frame/door issue at the top/bottom edges. My feeling is it doesn't indicate a serious issue, but you should check bulkheads and rig just to

Hi all, (Cheers, I'm new to the list - I got a 1980 C 36 a year ago in May and have been sailing and fixing/improving her since. Calling from Helsinki, Finland.) It's kinda funny, I have an opposite problem. The V-berth door doesn't close when the shrouds are tightened, but that's because the

I’m thinking that this might be a common issue along the C line, at least from our vintage years. About a year after I acquired our boat and getting the rig rebuilt (I bought it with the mast on the deck as an abandoned bank-repo) and the boat in the water the v-berth door stopped closing.

I have the opposite issue with the v-berth door on my Landfall 38; with the boat in the water and the rig under tension, it’s fine, but when the boat’s in the cradle for the winter it won’t close… Kind of a non-issue, I guess… :^) — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C

Years ago, I installed a hydraulic backstay adjuster on Touche'. Hot dog! Picked the boat up from the yard and went out on the lake to try it out. Cranked it down and, oops, the head door wouldn't open. Temporary boat rule: nobody uses the head going upwind. Downwind, backstay off, door opened

I've had this (minor) issue over a year where we can't fully close the v-berth door on our Landfall 38. At first I thought it was just due to heat expansion of the wood in the summer, but it started roughly after I tightened the main shrouds a couple turns (due to masthead fall off in higher
