I think some people might even do this with a working factory system as a solution to keeping the rudders raised high when on the beach or trailer.

I like the PIN idea for this reason. I wouldn't want to have to try to remember to put or pull a pin while sailing but I would love to have a pin the locked them up for trailering, even if just from setup area to ramp. I quite often setup in a parking lot a little ways away from the ramp and since the water is low the ramp is dry and you actually just drive down the packed sand and launch but it can be bumpy and always worry the rope will bounce out

This picture shows the loop for easy grab on the fly.

Keep in mind the pins should be wood or plastic. I used the stainless,but it doesn't offer any protection from a bottom out.
