TB Genoa Car with 1 CL Sheave

Precise Headsail Lead Control

The Lewmar TB Genoa Car with 1 Control Line Sheave is engineered to deliver accurate, dependable headsail lead adjustment for cruising and performance sailing yachts. Designed for high-load genoa and jib systems, it enables precise positioning of the sheet lead, allowing sailors to optimise sail shape and maintain consistent performance across carrying wind conditions.

Track-Bearing (TB) Genoa Car Design

Track-Bearing (TB) configuration is optimised to transfer loads directly into the genoa track, ensuring stable alignment and smooth, predictable movement under tension. This design minimises friction and prevents binding, enabling efficient adjustment even when the sail is loaded, particularly valuable during active rimming and changing conditions.

Single Control Line Sheave for Efficient Adjustment

An integrated single control line sheave provides clean, low-friction routing of the genoa car control line. The streamlined solution allows precise for-and-aft adjustment from the cockpit, improving responsiveness and enabling fast, controlled trimming without the need to manually reposition the car under load.

Marine-Grade Construction

Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the TB Genoa Car is built to withstand sustained sheet loads, repeated adjustments, and harsh offshore environments. Its robust construction ensures long service life and reliable operation, even in demanding cruising or racing use.

Smooth, Reliable Performance

Precision-engineered bearing surfaces and load paths ensure consistent, low-friction travel along the track. This smooth operation enhances trimming accuracy, reduces handling effort, and minimises wear on both control lines and deck hardware over time.

Optimised for Modern Headsail Systems

Designed to maintain correct lead angles, the TB Genoa Car supports efficient sail shape, reducing chafe and improving overall performance. Its combination of stability, smooth travel, and compact control makes it ideal for modern sailing yachts that demand both ease of and high-performance capability. 

System Integration & Application

Fully compatible with Lewmar genoa track systems, the TB Genoa Car with 1 Control Line Sheave is suitable for both new installations and professional refits. Commonly specified on cruising and performance yachts, it forms part of a refined, system-led solution backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in sail-handling hardware.
