TB Short Car with Shackle

Combat Precision for High-Load Systems

The Lewmar TB Short Car with Shackle is engineered to deliver strong, accurate traveller performance in applications where space is limited but load demands remain high. Designed for performance cruising and racing yachts, its shortened profile offers a compact solution without compromising strength control, or reliability.

Track-Bearing (TB) Design

At its core, Lewmar’s proven Track-Bearing (TB) configuration ensures efficient load transfer directly into the traveller track. This design maintains stable alignment and predicable movement under tension, delivering smooth, low-friction travel even when managing high mainsheet loads in dynamic sailing conditions.

Compact Short Car Geometry

The shortened car design reduces overall footprint and travel length while maintaining structural integrity and load-handling capability. This makes it ideal for installations with restricted track space or tight deck layouts, enabling precise control where a full-length car may not be practical.

Integrated Shackle Attachment

Fitted with a robust, marine-grade shackle, the TB Short Car provides a secure and versatile attachment point for mainsheet blocks or purchase systems. This direct connection ensures efficient load transfer while offering flexibility for a wide range of rigging configurations.

Smooth, Reliable Operation

Precision-engineered bearing surfaces and load paths allow consistent, low-friction movement along the track. This smooth performance improves handling efficiency, supports accurate sail trim, and reduces wear on both the car and track components over time. 

Marine-Grade Construction

Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials, the Lewmar TB Short Car with Shackle is built to withstand sustained loads, shock forces, and harsh offshore environments. Its rugged construction ensures long service life and dependable performance in both cruising and racing applications.

Clean System Integration

The compact design integrates seamlessly into Lewmar traveller systems, supporting tidy efficient deck layouts. Its streamlined form reduces unnecessary bulk while maintaining high-performance functionality, making it particularly well suited to modern, space-conscious deck designs.

System Integration & Application

Fully compatible with Lewmar traveller track systems, the TB Short Car with Shackle is suitable for new installations and professional refits. Ideal for high-load mainsheet control on yachts with limited track space, it provides a refined, system-led solution backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high-performance sail-handling hardware.
