The Lewmar HTX Single Block with Fiddle, Becket & Cam delivers powerful, precise line control in a compact, high-strength design. The fiddle configuration increases mechanical advantage, the integrated becket supports efficient cascade systems, and the cam cleat provides secure, rapid line holding and release. Constructed using Lewmar HTX composite technology, the block offers excellent strength-to-weight performance with smooth, low-friction operation. Ideal for fine-tune controls and high-performance sailing systems on cruising and racing yachts.

Features:

Precise Control in a Compact System

The Lewmar HTX Single Block with Fiddle, Becket & Cam is engineered to deliver controlled high-efficiency line handling within compact, high-load sailing systems. Designed for modern performance cruising and racing yachts, it combines mechanical advantage, secure line holding, and intelligent alignment in a single, integrated solution.

Fiddle Configuration with Integrated Becket

The fiddle arrangement provides increased purchase within a minimal footprint, allowing loads to be managed with reduced effort and improved precision. The integrated becket offers a dedicated termination point, supporting cascade and fine-tune systems where clean routing, compact geometry, and consistent load transfer are critical to performance.

Positive Cam Clear Control

Fitted with a responsive cam cleat, the block enables rapid, secure line engagement and controlled release under load. This allows fine adjustments to be made confidential and efficiently, reducing reliance on secondary hardware and improving ergonomics at the trimming position. The cam design supports repeated adjustments while maintaining consistent holding power.

Self-Aligning Swivel Head

The swivel head allows the block to rotate freely and align naturally with changing led angles. This self-orienting action minimises sideloading and friction, promoting smooth rope flow and extending the service life of both rope and hardware in dynamic trimming environments.

HTX High-Strength Construction

Manufactured using Lewmar’s advanced HTX composite technology, the block delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance. Reinforced composite cheeks and precision-engineered sheaves are designed to withstand high working loads while minimising flex, friction, and long-term wear, ensuring reliable performance in demanding deck conditions.

Smooth, Dependable Performance

Optimised sheave geometry and efficient load distribution support smooth, low-friction operation during trimming and easing. The combined fiddle and cam configuration delivers predictable handling, reduced effort and responsive control, enhancing accuracy during extended performance sailing or high-workload manoeuvres.
