When my boat is in the water, the doors (v berth and head) close fine.
Each Fall, when the boat is hauled and rests in it cradle (3 pads per
side plus a bow bunk), I adjust the cradle to level the boat and be able
to close both doors.
After the boat sits for a few months, and we get a freeze and thaw, the
door to the head won't close easily (it will if I force it but I
don't)......I make an adjustment to the pads....when do I know I have it
right......both doors will close....might change again over the winter,
might not. The yard manager sees me doing this and thinks I am a bit
obsessived.
The doors have always closed easily when the boat is in the water.

The 38 looks to be similar except on the 38 the back of the settee is
not structural. Outboard of the chainplates and under the side decks
are a pair of pilot berths. The chainplates are secured to the wood
and fiberglass structure I talked about. I have seen a flattening of
the curve of the hull below the waterline from overtensioning of the
shrouds, but the bending of the hull comes from backstay/headstay tension.
BTW, on my boat the bending of the hull was only noticeable when the
boat is out of the water. When she is floating on her lines, there is
no problem even with the backstay cranked down pretty hard for a long
time. You commented earlier that you hope the bend in your hull will
go away when the boat is out of the water with the mast pulled, but
based on my experience I'm a bit doubtful.

Rick,
Sounds very similar to our boats. Here's a port side view
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/0d2p882ehd1p6tw/IMG_3152.jpg> of the chain
plate. For the other 37 listers, my head door has never had a problem.
Best,
