TB Car With Upstand

Stable High-Load Traveller Control

The Lewmar TB Car with Upstand is engineered to deliver dependable, low-friction traveller performance in high-load sailing applications. Designed for performance cruising yachts and racing systems, it provides a stable and efficient platform for manging mainsheet loads while maintaining precise control and smooth operation under pressure.

Track-bearing (TB) Car Design

The Track-Bearing (TB) configuration is optimised to transfer loads directly into the traveller track, ensuring consistent alignment and controlled movement even under significant tension. This design reduces binding and friction, delivering predictable, responsive traveller adjustment during trimming and easing.

Integrated Upstand for Improved Line Management

The built-in upstand raises the control-line interface above the car body, helping maintain clean lead angle and keeping control lines clear of the deck when unloaded. This improves accessibility, reduces the risk of snagging, and supports efficient line handling, particularly in high-workload cockpit environments and performance-focused layouts.

Smooth, Reliable Operation

Carefully engineered bearing surfaces and load paths ensure low resistance travel along the track. This smooth movement supports accurate sail trim, improves handling feel, and reduces wear on both traveller components and control lines during frequent adjustments.

Marine-Grade Construction

Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials, the Lewmar TB Car with Upstand is built to withstand sustained loads, shock forces, and harsh marine conditions. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in both offshore and coastal sailing environments.

Clean System Integration

The compact, functional design integrates seamlessly with Lewmar traveller systems, maintaining tidy deck layouts while enhancing ergonomics and efficiency. By improving line presentation without adding unnecessary complexity, the TB Car with Upstand contributes to a refined, professional deck setup.

System Integration & Application

Designed for use with Lewmar traveller tracks, the TB Car with Upstand is suitable for both new installations and professional refits. Ideal for mainsheet traveller systems on cruising and performance yachts, it provides a dependable, system-led solution backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high load sail-handling hardware.
