HTX End Stop With Single Control Line Sheave & Becket

Integrated Termination & Control-Line Management

The Lewmar HTX End Stop with Single Control Line Sheave & Becket is designed to provide secure termination and efficient control-line routing at the ends of HTX beam and traveller systems. Engineered for performance cruising and racing yachts, it combines stopping strength, low-friction handling, and compact line termination in a single, system-led component.

Single Control Line Sheave for Clean Lead Angles

The integrated single control line sheave allows traveller control lines to be led smoothly and efficiently away from the track. This optimised routing minimises friction and maintains clean lead angles during trimming and easing, improving responsiveness and reducing wear on control lines and associated deck hardware. By combining termination and line handling in one unit, the design helps keep deck layouts simple and uncluttered.

Integrated Becket for Compact Purchase Systems

A built-in becket provides a fixed termination point for control lines, enabling compact purchase or cascade configurations without the need for additional fittings.  This supports efficient load paths, reduces component count, and allows high mechanical advantage to be achieved within a minimal footprint, particularly valuable on performance-focused deck layouts where space and weight efficiency are priorities.

Robust End Stop Protection

As a structural end stop, the unit prevents over-travel of the traveller car, protecting the HTX beam track, traveller car, and surrounding deck structure from impact damage. Its solid, purpose-designed form is engineered to absorb repeated end-load forces generated during aggressive trimming or sudden sail load changes, preserving long-term system integrity in demanding sailing conditions.

HTX High-Strength Composite Construction

Manufactured using Lewmar’s advanced HTX composite technology, the HTX End Stop with Single Control Line Sheave & Becket delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance. The high-strength composite structure resists deformation, fatigue, corrosion, and UV exposure, making it ideally suited for sustained high-load use in harsh marine environments while helping reduce overall system weight on deck.

Smooth, Reliable Operation

Precision-engineered sheave geometry ensures controlled, low-friction line movement under load, supporting accurate traveller adjustment and reduced handling effort. Combined with the fixed becket termination, this promotes predictable load transfer, smoother operation, and extended service life of both control lines and associated traveller components.

System Integration & Application

Designed specifically for seamless compatibility with Lewmar HTX beam track and traveller systems, the HTX End Stop with Single Control Line Sheave & Becket is suitable for both new installations and professional refits. Commonly specified for mainsheet traveller systems on performance cruisers and offshore race boats, it offers a clean, integrated solution where termination strength, efficient control-line handling, and compact geometry must work together, backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high-load sail-handling hardware.
