HTX TB Genoa Car With Single Control Line Sheave & Becket

High-Load Headsail Control with Compact Efficiency

The Lewmar HTX TB Genoa Car with Single Control Line Sheave & Becket is engineered to deliver precise, dependable adjustment of genoa and jib leads on yachts carrying powerful headsails. Designed for performance cruising and offshore racing, it combines strength, smooth operation, and space-efficient control into a single, purpose-built component.

Track-Bearing (TB) Genoa Car Design

The Track-Bearing (TB) configuration is optimised to manage high headsail loads directly through the HTX beam track interface. By transmitting forces cleanly into the track, the TB design maintains accurate alignment and predictable movement under load, ensuring consistent lead positioning during trimming, tacking, and sail optimisation in demanding conditions.

Single Control Line Sheave for Clean, Low-Friction Adjustment

An integrated single control line sheave allows the genoa car control line to be routed smoothly with minimal friction. This efficient line handling supports accurate, responsive lead adjustments while reducing wear on control lines during frequent trimming. The streamlined single-sheave arrangement keeps he system simple, lightweight, and well-suited to clean deck layouts.

Integrated Becket for Compact Purchase Systems

The built-in becket provides a secure fixed termination point for control lines, enabling simple purchase or cascade configurations without the need for additional hardware. This supports efficient load paths and allows increased mechanical advantage to be achieved within a compact footprint, particularly valuable on performance-focused foredecks where space and component count must be minimised.

HTX High-Strength Composite Engineering

Manufactured using Lewmar’s advanced HTX composite technology, the TB Genoa Car delivers exceptional 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 contributing to reduced overall system weight.

Smooth, Reliable Performance Under Sustained Load

Precision-engineered load paths and bearing interfaces ensure consistent, low-friction travel along the HTX track. This smooth operation allows accurate headsail lead positioning with reduced handling effort, helping maintain optimal sail shape and extending the service life of both track and car during repeated adjustments.

Optimised for Modern Genoa & Jib Systems

Designed specifically for headsail lead applications, the HTX TB Genoa Car with Single Control Line Sheave & Becket maintain correct lead geometry to preserve sail shape, reduce chafe, and improve overall sail efficiency. Its combination of smooth movement and secure termination makes it particularly well suited to modern performance cruisers and race yachts sailing in variable and demanding conditions.

System Integration & Application

The Lewmar HTX TB Genoa Car with Single Control Line Sheave & Becket integrates seamlessly with Lewmar HTX beam track systems and associated headsail hardware. Suitable for new installations and professional refits, it offers a refined, system-led solution for sailors seeking uncompromising strength, precision, and reliability, backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high-load sail-handling systems.
