Regarding the quick release. The only con I've heard is they must be periodically washed and lubed as salt may crystalize on the inside and not allow the balls to come out. Not sure if quick release is needed at the chain plates. Easier to wrap them in rigging tape and tie the wires up to the mast with bungie cords. I believe most leave the rigging attached to make it easier at launch and recovery. Bill M17 Tipperary
