The main hatch on our So 29.2 stuck during the week for the fisrt time since owning it in 3 years.
The hatch is the standard plexiglass unit and is retained under the timber runners, between the cockpit GRP moulding.
After a couple of tugs it was stuck fast so I left it and continued with the day.
After a couple of hours I went to close it and it ran smoothly as normal!
Is this common and what could be causing it?
The temperature was warm (for West Cork) at around 22deg C.
I cleaned the area (around the runners) a month ago in the boat yard and there is some green growth locally to the runners, I couldn't make out if the hatch was sticking widthways or in some other direction
