HTX TB Genoa Car With Single Control Line Sheave

The Lewmar HTX TB Genoa Car with Single Control Line Sheave is engineered to deliver precise, dependable headsail lead adjustment on yachts carrying powerful genoa and jib sail plans. Designed for performance cruising and offshore racing applications, it provides confident sail control where high loads, frequent adjustment, and consistent trim accuracy are essential.

Track-Bearing (TB) Genoa Car Design

The Track-Bearing (TB) configuration is specifically developed to manage high headsail loads directly through the HTX track interface. This design ensures stable alignment and predictable, controlled movement along the beam track, even under significant sheet tension. The result is smooth lead adjustment and reliable positioning during trimming, tacking, and changing conditions.

Single Control Line Sheave for Efficient Adjustment

An integrated single control line sheaves provides smooth, low-friction routing of the genoa car control line. This optimised line path enables precise adjustment and controlled easing, improving responsiveness at the helm or cockpit while reducing wear on control lines and associated fittings. The streamlined configuration minimises component count and supports clean, uncluttered deck layouts.

HTX High-Strength Composite Engineering

Manufactured using Lewmar’s advanced HTX composite technology, the TB Genoa Car delivers outstanding strength-to-weight performance. The high-strength composite structure resists deformation, fatigue, corrosion, and UV exposure, making it ideally suited to sustained high-load use in harsh marine environments while helping reduce overall system weight.

Smooth, Reliable Performance Under Load

Precision-engineered load paths and bearing interfaces ensure consistent, low-friction across the HTX track. This smooth operation allows accurate headsail lead positioning, improved sail shape control, and reduced handling effort, even during frequent adjustments under load. 

Optimising for Modern Headsail Systems

Designed specifically for genoa and jib lead applications, the HTX TB Genoa Car helps maintain correct lead angles to preserve sail shape, reduce chafe, and improve overall sail efficiency. Its ability to combine stable load handling with smooth movement makes it particularly well suited to performance cruisers and race yachts operating in variable conditions.

System Integration & Application

The Lewmar HTX TB Genoa Car with Single Control Line Sheave integrates seamlessly with Lewmar HTX beam track systems and complementary headsail hardware. Suitable for both new builds and professional refits, it is commonly specified on performance cruising yachts and offshore race boats requiring uncompromising strength, accuracy, and reliability, backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high-load sail-handling systems.
