Mast tie down while cartopping

Any good ideas for making a quick mounting bracket for cartopping of the Laser Spars? I currently use lots of bungees, but there must be a better way.
Plywood brakets? Velcro? cleats?
 
Pool noodles are good padding for a "free form" tie-down.

Plywood "moose ears" and a bungee/rope are really secure and quick to load and unload the mast.
 
Something like that belt tie down might work well, I could make you a velcro strap really easily that will work well and only take a second to strap, I should probably make one for me too! I just moved my boat and I'm still using the tie with misc ropes and hope they don't fall off method... There are definitely better ways!
 
I am just about to try an industrial velcro long loop - kind of like the velcro clew tie down from SEA. I have used the misc ropes method for years and want something quicker and more reliable.
There must be a better way.
But how come no one has found the better way in the last 45 years?
