Must add that the quick pin with the button failed on my genny.  I was
fortunate in that I check the pins before casting off.  Noticed that the pin
was bent.  I decided to remove it to examine what had happened.  Apparently
the compression of the forestay on the pin crushed it.  I would never use
these again other than as a quick set until I put in a proper clevis, but
never for sailing.
