Locked tillers on a J30 can be a bear... when you are of decent weight and are moving on the boat. I would be more inclined to use some sort of bungee cord ladder that will maintain a more flexible pressure on the tiller. I will have to try that this winter. Pray for steady wind and flat seas.
And tell us how you plan to launch the spin
In any case you can practice by using the autohelm manual mode and see just what fixed points will do when you walk forward.
