Lewmar Size 2 Ocean Traveler Kit - 4:1 Purchase System — Product description
Upgrade Your Mainsheet Control with the Lewmar Size 2 Ocean Traveler Kit
Imagine trimming your mainsail with effortless precision, even in gusty conditions, while keeping your cockpit sleek and unobtrusive. The Lewmar Size 2 Ocean Traveler Kit delivers exactly that through its innovative 4:1 purchase system, tailored for yachts in the 40- to 49-foot range. This isn't just hardware—it's a game-changer for sailors who demand responsive handling and low-friction performance without the clutter of bulky setups.
Crafted from marine-grade materials, the kit integrates seamlessly into your deck layout, using existing bolt holes for a hassle-free retrofit. Whether you're racing competitively or cruising long distances, this traveler system minimizes sheeting angles, reduces boom vang stress, and lets you fine-tune sail shape on the fly.
Standout Features That Set It Apart
- Ultra-Smooth Profile: No exposed fasteners mean a clean, hydrodynamic look that sheds water and resists grime buildup, perfect for offshore adventures.
- Lightning-Fast Adjustments: The 4:1 mechanical advantage amplifies your input, allowing quick responses to shifting winds without back-breaking effort.
- Retrofit Simplicity: Slide the 1.2m bolt track into place using your boat's original holes—no drilling, no mess, just immediate upgrades.
- Proven Durability: Built to handle the rigors of saltwater exposure, with components that endure UV rays, abrasion, and constant tension.
These elements combine to create a system that's not only functional but also enhances your boat's overall aesthetics and safety on deck.
Performance Specs for Real-World Sailing
Engineered for yachts up to 49 feet (15m), this kit boasts a safe working load of 2000 lbs (1000 kg), supporting mainsail areas up to 46m² on end-boom sheeting or 38m² mid-boom. The 4:1 purchase ratio strikes an ideal balance between power and speed, making it versatile for both upwind pointing and downwind runs.
In practice, sailors report sharper tacks, better stability under load, and less wear on lines compared to traditional setups. It's especially valuable on boats where deck space is premium, as the low-profile car glides silently along the track.
Complete Kit Contents for Plug-and-Play Setup
Everything you need arrives in one package:
- 1 x High-performance mainsheet car (29431916BK) for ultra-low friction.
- 2 x Simple end stops (29472032BK) to secure your traveler's range.
- 1 x 1.2m sliding bolt track (29162118BK) for precise positioning.
No hunting for compatible parts—this kit ensures compatibility from the start, saving you time and frustration during installation.
Easy Installation and Pro Tips
Setting up the Size 2 Ocean Traveler takes under an hour for most skippers. Align the track with your existing holes, secure the end stops, attach the car, and reeve your mainsheet. Pro tip: Lubricate the car bearings lightly with marine grease before first use to maximize smoothness— it'll pay dividends in quiet operation over thousands of miles.
For optimal performance, position the track amidships to minimize twist in the sheet load. If upgrading from an older traveler, this system's lighter weight (under 5kg total) will noticeably improve your boat's balance.
Keep It Running Like New: Maintenance Essentials
Longevity starts with simple habits. Rinse with fresh water after every sail to flush salt, inspect lines for chafe annually, and disassemble the car yearly for a deep clean. Avoid harsh chemicals—mild soap does the trick. With proper care, Lewmar Ocean components often outlast the boats they're fitted to, as evidenced by fleets still using original installs from decades ago.
This low-maintenance design frees you to focus on sailing, not tinkering.
Why Lewmar Ocean Travelers Excel on the Water
Lewmar's Ocean series draws from decades of feedback from Grand Prix racers and bluewater cruisers alike. Unlike generic travelers that bind under load or rattle in waves, this kit prioritizes reliability and ergonomics. It's the choice for discerning sailors who value control that feels intuitive, performance that scales with conditions, and hardware that fades into the background—literally and figuratively.
