I was on Falls Lake (NC) two Sundays ago and met a lovely CLC Northbay. The builder had used fasteners called Dzus fasteners (used in airplanes and race
cars) to hold his hatches on. They 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 some to me so I can retrofit my Chesapeake LT16.

Has anyone has worked with these before? I didn't get the builder's name. I think he used the quarter turn Panex line with the ring.
