Lewmar Size 2 Ocean Traveler Kit - 4:1 Purchase System

The Lewmar Size 2 Ocean Traveler Kit with 4:1 Purchase System is purpose-built for cruising sailboats and coastal yachts up to 49 feet, delivering the complete mainsheet hardware needed for reliable performance in open water. After years spent managing mainsheet systems on everything from day sailors to offshore cruisers, you learn that a well-engineered kit eliminates guesswork and saves countless hours of rigging. Lewmar's integrated approach—combining blocks, lines, and hardware in one package—means you're not hunting for compatible components or dealing with mismatched load ratings.

The 4:1 purchase system provides a mechanical advantage that keeps sheet tension manageable during day-to-day sailing and heavy air, critical when you're single-handing or working with a small crew over long passages. This ratio strikes the balance between reducing physical load on your arms and hands while maintaining direct feel and control of the sail—something you can't compromise on when conditions shift quickly or you're navigating narrow anchorages. The Size 2 configuration is optimized for the displacement and sail plans typical of modern cruising yachts in the 40–49 foot range, where weight matters but load handling cannot be undersized.

Cruising sailors and small-crew operators benefit most from this kit, as the complete assembly cuts installation time and ensures all components work in concert. Whether you're upgrading an aging mainsheet, outfitting a new boat, or replacing damaged hardware after a season of hard use, the Lewmar Size 2 Ocean Traveler Kit integrates cleanly with standard deck hardware and mast fittings found on most cruising yachts. Weighing just 1 pound, the kit won't add unnecessary topside weight, and Lewmar's proven design means you can rely on it whether you're daysailing or committed to extended offshore passages.
