Top pins are where the upper sail ties attach to the mast, and their shape does more work than it looks. A pin with a sharp edge or a rough surface saws through a thin lacing line surprisingly quickly, so the smooth profile here is the point of the part rather than a detail. They are supplied as a set of two so both can be renewed together, which is worth doing whenever you replace the lacing lines, since a worn pin will chew through a new line just as fast as it did the old one. A standard fitting for the Optimist mast.
