HTX Double Block with Swivel Head and Becket

High-Load Control with Compact Purchase

The Lewmar HTX Double Block with Swivel Head is engineered to deliver efficient, controlled handling of high-load running rigging in modern sailing systems. Designed for performance-focused yachts and demanding control applications, it combines mechanical advantage, precise alignment, and durable construction in a compact, versatile package.

Double-Sheave Design with Integrated Becket

The twin-sheave configuration provides increased purchase, allowing significant loads to be managed with reduced effort. An integrated becket enables secure termination of control lines, supporting compact cascade and fine-tune systems where space efficiency and clean line routing are essential. This combination makes the block particularly well suited to performance control layouts requiring both power and precision.

Self-Aligning Swivel Head

The swivel head allows the block to rotate freely and align naturally with changing lead angles. This self-orienting action reduces sideloading and friction, promoting smoother rope flow and extending the service life of both rope and hardware. In dynamic trimming scenarios, the swivel head contributes to consistent, predictable performance under load.

HTX High-Strength Construction

Manufactured using Lewmar’s advanced HTX composite technology, the block delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance. Reinforced composite cheeks and precision-engineered sheaves are designed to withstand high working loads while minimising flex, friction, and wear, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding deck environments.

Smooth, Dependable Performance

Optimised sheave profiles and low-friction operation provide responsive, controlled rope movement during trimming and easing. Even load distribution across the sheaves improves efficiency and reduces handling effort, supporting accurate sail control and reduced fatigue during sustained performance sailing.

Installation & Application

Well-suited to mainsheets, control cascades, and other high-load control systems, the Lewmar HTX Double Block with Swivel Head integrates seamlessly into modern performance cruising and racing yacht deck layouts. Its combination of strength, adaptability, and compact efficiency makes it a professional-grade solution backed by Lewmar’s proven deck-hardware expertise.
