[quote=RSabast]For my G-Cat 5.7, I use a quick pin on the mast forestay. The side stays and trap wires stay connected all the time - since the boat is trailered stern-first, I just have to slide the mast base up to the ball. I use a small zip tie to safety the forestay quick pin - I use the kind of pin that has a loop. It isn't going anywhere. I replaced the mast ball pin with a cheap phillips screwdriver - no wrestling getting it in or out - plus it has a lanyard so I'm not likely to forget and leave it in. I use velcro wraps on everything so don't untie any knots.
I use Ronstan or Wichard snap connectors on the main sheet, jib and all the rest, and quick pins on the tiller and hiking stick. I still remove rudders, but have ratchet wrenches handy. No ring-dings are put on anywhere. I've gotten rigging down to 1/2 hour, and will get better with more practice.[/quote]
