This method came up on the list several years ago, with suggestions for making the pins with velcro straps. I made these as mentioned here several years ago (took about 10 minutes per pin) and they continue to work very well. Easy to remove to adjust stay tension or remove the mast, but they do not fall out and don’t catch on the jib sheets.
