... a lovely CLC Northbay. The builder had used fasteners called Dzus 
fasteners (used in airplanes and race cars) to hold his hatches on. These 
were two very small metal fasteners that held with a quarter turn. It made 
the deck extremely clean looking (no webbing!) and I am currently trying to 
find someone to sell 4 to me so I can retrofit my Chesapeake LT16. 
 
If anyone has worked with these before or wants photos of these fasteners, 
please contact me. Their web site is www.dzus.com but they make tons of 
different types of fasteners. I think this builder used the quarter turn 
Panex line with the ring. ... >>


Anyone interested in "quarter turn fasteners" may also wish to check 
www.southco.com. Retailing them four at a time may not be of riveting 
interest to them, but they can probably point you in the direction of a 
retail distributor.

Good luck!
