Sounds like more work than I want to do, guys.
I take the trailer ratchet line go under the trailer and tie to front crossbar then ratchet tight (not too tight-just want to keep it from bouncing on the trailer over bumps).
I used to use the mainsheet under the trailer to the rear crossbar, but stopped doing that for short trips. Remember the boat is plastic. The mainsheet is wrapped around the rear mast rest, so boat can't slide forward in a sudden stop. If you ratchet things too tight you will dent it-especially if the temperature is hot. Trust gravity.
I do worry about launching the mast on a short stop or leaving it behind on a quick start (I have a rear mast rest with a very good roller), so I do take some time to ensure it doesn't move fore or aft (or sideways for that matter).
