I am trying to find a quick release pin like I have on my 16 for a friends 16. It is for connecting the Forestay 10 hole to the shackle on the bridle wires. It makes connecting the forestay to the bridles very easy and quick....
On my boat, the 10-hole adjuster stays attached to the bridle wires with a bow shackle (threaded pin), and I use a 1/4" quick pin to pin the forestay into the adjuster when I raise the mast. I use a solid pin with a spring-loaded ball in the end, not a push-release pin which is hollow and weaker. I suppose it could come out but it's really easy to see (the pin is way longer than it needs to be) and it doesn't move.
I use a longer version of this:
