Choosing the right Lewmar Traveler System is important to make control of your mainsail safe and easy. The right mainsail
traveler will run smoothly, tack cleanly, and be easy to trim. Below is a quick reference to the correct system based on boat size.
If you require additional assistance please contact us. Our crew is ready to help!
Lewmar Size 0 Travelers
Ocean Lewmar Size 0 traveler systems are appropriate for boats up to
28' (8.5m) when used with an end-boom mainsheet. If the traveler is installed
on the cabin-top
for a mid-boom sheeting arrangement it is only suggested you use a Lewmar
Size 0 traveler on boats up to
24' (7.3m). The same reduced size limit is recommended for multihull
sailboats because they have higher mainsheet loads than monohulls of
the same size.
Lewmar Size 1 Travelers
Size 1 traveler systems from Lewmaare popular on racing and cruising
yachts. They provide enough load capacity and mechanical advantage to
operate on boats up to 38' (11.5m) with an end-boom mainsheet. For mid-boom
mainsheet
arrangements
(or on multihulls) only use Size 1 travelers on
sailboats up to 34' (10.3m).
Lewmar Size 2 Travelers
Size 2 Lewmar traveler systems offer up to 5:1 purchase on the
traveler control line. Boats up to 48' (14.6m) can use these travelers
for end-boom
sheeting. Multihulls and boats with mid-boom sheeting should only use
this size up to 44' (13.4m).
Lewmar Size 3 Travelers
Lewmar Size 3 mainsheet traveler systems offer varying purchase from
2:1 (intended for winch use) to 5:1. The stated range is up to 70' (21.3m)
with end-boom
sheeting or 60' (18.2m) for mid-boom sheeting or multihull use. In this
size range it is recommend that you consider more information like mainsheet
purchase, sail area and deck construction to ensure proper fit. For help
with this, or to assemble a custom traveler system for even larger yachts,
please contact our technical experts for advice.
