Lewmar Size 3 TB Short Car With Upstand

Lewmar Size 3 TB Short Car With Upstand

The Lewmar TB Short Car with Upstand delivers strong, reliable traveller control in a compact design for space‑limited installations. Its track‑bearing (TB) system ensures smooth, low‑friction movement under load, while the integrated upstand improves line lead and accessibility. Built from durable, marine‑grade materials, it offers long‑lasting performance and efficient control. Ideal for performance cruising and racing yachts requiring precise traveller operation in a reduced footprint.

Features:

Compact Control For High‑load Systems

The Lewmar TB Short Car with Upstand is engineered to deliver dependable, high‑performance traveller control in applications where space is limited but load demands remain high. Designed for performance cruising and racing yachts, it combines a compact footprint with robust load‑handling capability, ensuring precise and reliable sail control in demanding conditions.

Track‑bearing (Tb) Performance Design

At its core, the Track‑Bearing (TB) configuration ensures efficient load transfer directly into the traveller track. This stable load path maintains accurate alignment and smooth movement under tension, reducing friction and preventing binding — even when operating under heavy mainsheet loads.

Short Car Geometry For Space Efficiency

The reduced‑length design allows installation in tighter deck layouts while maintaining full structural integrity and performance capability. This compact format is ideal for applications where track length or deck space is restricted, delivering precise control without unnecessary bulk.

Integrated Upstand For Optimised Line Lead

The built‑in upstand elevates the control‑line interface above the car body, improving lead angles and keeping lines clear of the deck when unloaded. This enhances accessibility, reduces snagging, and supports clean line routing into clutches or cleats — particularly valuable in high‑traffic cockpit environments.

Smooth, Reliable Operation

Precision‑engineered bearing surfaces and internal load paths ensure consistent, low‑friction travel across the track. The result is smooth, predictable traveller adjustment, improved trimming accuracy, and reduced wear on both lines and hardware during repeated use.

Marine‑grade Construction

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

Clean System Integration

The compact, streamlined design integrates seamlessly with Lewmar traveller systems, contributing to tidy deck layouts and efficient line management. By combining strength with minimal footprint, the car supports modern, performance‑driven deck configurations.
