The Tasar has a halyard lock because it's a wing(ish) rotating mast so the halyard tention would either change as the mast rotated or stop it rotating at all. Some of the Aussie Contender guys use them as well so the mast can be sealed to slow an inversion.

My Finn mast has the lock at the top, thought about internal halyard, but i reckon it'd mess up the mast characteristics putting it under tension.

Halyard locks have been around for donkeys, the idea being to reduce compression loads on the mast. My spare finn mast has one, but my good one has been modified to an internal halyard with a cleat on the front of the mast.
