If you owned a hobie, I could understand your fustration with putting them on and off.
I needed a damn hammer to get my 17's rudder pins in and out. The Nacra's just clip in, takes less than a minute to put the whole system together. They always come off unless I'm just dragging it from the ramp back to the lot slip.
I have an 18 and don't have a problem removing/installing the pins by hand. I do have the one piece gudgeons but I don't know if that makes a difference.
