I’m thinking that this might be a common issue along the C&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. Worked with a friend who owned a boat-yard and built boats and we couldn’t really find a “good” reason for this happening.
I just ignored it and kept the v-berth door pinned open. It will be interesting to see it that still is the case when I finally put the new rig (all new rod and running rigging) back in after sitting on jack stands with no keel for a couple of years...
