More InformationOptions
Mechanical Plunger Engagement
At the core of the design is a spring-loaded plunger mechanism that engages positively with compatible drilled HTX track profiles. This direct mechanical engagement eliminates reliance on friction alone, preventing unintended movement and ensuring the traveller remains securely locked at defined positions even in heavy air, offshore conditions, or during aggressive trimming.
HTX High-Strength Composite Technology
Manufactured using Lewmar’s advanced HTX composite technology, the HTX Plunger Stop delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance. The high-strength composite construction resists deformation, fatigue, corrosion, and UV-exposure, making it ideally suited to high-load marine environments while contributing to reduced system weight and improved overall efficiency.
Stability Under Load
By locking the traveller positively in place, the HTX Plunger Stop helps stabilise sail shape and prevent unwanted movement during load spikes or sudden changes in trim. This stability reduces stress on traveller cars, tracks, and control hardware, extending system lifespan and improving reliability during high-performance sailing.
Smooth, Dependable Operation
Precision-engineered components ensure smooth plunger action with reliable engagement and release. The mechanism is designed for frequent use, delivering consistent performance during repeated adjustments while maintaining accurate alignment and dependable locking over time.
System Integration & Application
Designed specifically for seamless compatibility with Lewmar HTX beam track and traveller systems, the HTX Plunger Stop is suitable for both new installations and professional refits. Commonly specified for mainsheet travellers on performance cruisers and offshore race boats, it offers a refined, system-led solution where precision, strength, and repeatability are essential backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high-load sail-handling hardware.
