Flaco,

You may try disconnectng the bridle wires at the bow tangs instead of the using the furler adjuster plate. I have the same issue - while my son holds the mast I will invariably drop the pin. Its cumbersome and I am 6'3". I have to rest a bridle wire on my shoulder but I dont see that working for your 5' ft frame wife. You can also do like MN3 says - "loosen 1 side stay many holes". I do this now and it is a time saver as well.

While there are 2 bridle wires to attach they are lower to the ground and by disconneting the bridle wires you are not stressing the wires while being trailored.
