In conditions which require a trysail wouldn't it be better to remove
your mainsail stack and get it below. Then the trysail could be set
low with the clew attached to the cockpit sole. Boom end lowered and
tied off would then be possible.
I could be wrong about this but that's how I'd do it.

If the conditions are bad enough to use a trysail, then it would be
impossible to get the mainsail off and down below.
