Does anyone have experience/recommendations about a better way to connect the Main Sheet Block to the traveler? Some sort of snap pin or quick connect?

The U and clevis pin are hard for me to manipulate in that that tight space.

Thanks

I use a quick pin, instead of a clevis pin. Works absolutely fine.

Quick pin! Always have, always will :-)

West marine (of all places) has a great online price for them.

Yes, quick pin!! But don't get the fancy (and expensive) one with a push button to release. I have had 3, and the three of them have broken in a few months (it gets mangled with the mainsheet block). Just buy the solid one with a tiny ball at the end that you just pull out. For me it has worked perfectly for a couple of years now and has never come off by itself.
