Hi,

I will try to post the photos here, but if it doesn't work you can go to:

Note the notch being cut into the original pin after only 1 hour of sailing.



On the improved design, the load is applied between two relatively flat surface and in an area where there is more meat, so much less likely to fail.



It is amazing how much easier it is to hook and unhook now - no comparison to the original system.



Thanks for everyone's help and comments so far.
