Here are a few pix of the "Gabriel
Pins" I McGuivered up several years ago. I called them such because
of my mental association of Cotter Pins with Gabriel Kotter of TV
fame.
Louis Plaisance
Saint Benedict (SK), #14686
Lake Pontchartrain wuz Lake Salvador, LA
Man....I love that little boat.
Tip from
Chip: If you use PVC shroud covers, keep a few clip-on
clothespins handy. (I've always got a dozen or more aboard
for hanging
wet towels etc., on the lifelines.) When you want to adjust a
turnbuckle, slide the cover up the shroud and clip a clothespin
beneath it. This keeps it out of the way until you're done
adjusting.
