Reducing setup time at the launch ramp for my C250WB is a constant. To that end, I've installed quick release pins wherever it makes sense, AND I sourced a C25 forestay quick release lever from CD (P/N E1880) for my C250 backstay. It works great without any tinkering of the turnbuckles. Once I set the mast and the furler, I just walk aft and flip the QR lever. You'll note, I also inserted a rigging toggle, also from CD (P/N Z2054)

The lever has a hinged end and a quick release pin itself. You pull the pin and the lever opens up at the hinge providing about 3" of slack. Next time I'm up on the boat, I'll take a pic of it open.
