[Public-List] Hatch Adjusters on an Alberg 30

[dickdurk at atlanticbb.net]

I use a small jam cleat attached to the front of the hatch 
with a string running from the mast.

I just can stuff a foresail bag "down the hatch".  I 
wonder if the adjuster would prevent that  option-and if 
it matters to you.
