Oceanis Clipper 331 'Cabin Door'

[Gnutcracker III]

This may be a really stupid question...... but I've just bought a Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 331 (2000), and while messing aroud inside, I pulled the forward sliding cabin door to, while I was in the saloon.

Problem is, I can't open it again! I can't see any catches to operate and it feels as if it has latched inside. How do I open it without damaging anything?

Any help appreciated!

I don't believe there is any kind of catch on that door, but I do know it doesn't always slide easily. I would try lifting it up while trying to slide it.

On my 1996 pocket door, there is a inside/outside latch along the top rail. I think yours is built into the handle on the port side of the door. Is there a tab that moves up and down to release the latch?. IIRC, the latch is beveled so if you push it hard the latch will let go. At least MINE are like that.... Ore you could go in through your front hatch.
