For #FridayFocus this week we're taking a look at the Push Button Quick Release Pin which has been very popular with our Laser sailing customers.
The pin was sourced and tested in collaboration with Laser 4.7 National Champion Jack Graham-Troll and he's been using this pin ever since.
If you're a Laser sailor you'll know that trying to get to a fiddly split pin to take your vang/kicker off of the bottom mast is a pain in the backside.
This pin has a simple push button on the side which releases the ball at the end of the pin so the pin can slip in and out easily without any hassle. You've also got a ring so you can attach the pin so you don't lose it.
It's important to note that the handle and button are made from aluminium so you should wash the quick release pin very carefully with fresh water after sailing.

These are simple are installed on my boat and worked last time I sailed.
arrived very quickly along with the new main sheet i ordered, the colours are spot on and match the colour of the main sheet i ordered, spent ages yesterday re roping my dzero and i have to say it looks incredible with the blue and black rope
arrived very quickly and the colour is spot on, exactly what i was looking for
I love this rope for trapeze adjusters, it grips into a Clamcleat really well.
Hard wearing and low stretch, perfect for kite bridal poles on my catamaran. Delivered quickly.
A well made cover that fits perfectly on my Dart - it has a five year guarantee so it will be interesting to see how it lasts.
Long enough to tie down a laser. Bright enough to see your boat in a boatyard. Does what it says on the tin.
Watch once set your very easy to operate. Arrived well packaged and on time.
As always prompt order and delivery.
Item described as easy to splice, I'm not to sure on that, was quite difficult and developed into a bit of a tug of war.
in fairness splicing picture guide was not 100% clear.
End eye splice was good

Fab thanks Guys!
Excellent, really comfortable and not bulky.
2nd Pair of these I've had and nothing else compares with the comfort or fit.. I love them!!
I have tried cheaper rope and it kinks or wears out.
I bought 7mm excel fusion as genoa sheet for a gp14. This works very well. The dyneema core means that it wont break and seems to not kink.
Spliced eye makes traveler look tidy, rope stays nice and tight.
Surprised how much this helped with tightening traveler and helps keep the boat looking neater.
