Meet the Tiwal 3 sailboat
THE STORY OF PASSION
One adventure, 1000 possibilities
It all started with Marion Excoffon’s idea; a crazy idea to create an inflatable boat that would delight everyone. A boat that would allow everyone to sail their own sailboat and simply enjoy the pleasure of sailing. An idea that meant that everyone could set sail for a day, an afternoon, an hour … on a whim. At TIWAL, we call it an “escapada”.

ASSEMBLY
Intuitive and fast to assemble
Are you a boating enthusiast, but the lengthy setup process makes you uneasy? Fear not! With the Tiwal 3 small sailboat, you can hit the water in just 20 minutes, and fold it down just as swiftly, all by yourself. No tools or specialized knowledge required; simple clips and hook-and-loop straps do the trick. And here’s the icing on the cake: maintenance is a breeze, just an occasional rinse will do. In essence, it’s a boat with no strings attached!
TRANSPORT
A compact daysailer easily transported
Whether tucked away in the trunk of a car, stowed in a camper van, on board a plane, resting on the deck of a yacht, or trailing behind a bike, the compactness of the Tiwal 3 makes it effortlessly transportable.
Stored snugly within its two bags, this ten-and-a-half-foot dinghy becomes your travel companion, eliminating the need for a trailer. Whether for a post-work evening excursion or a vacation adventure, it’s ready to accompany you anywhere! When not in use, it discreetly fits into a closet or a small corner of the garage, maintaining a low profile until your next aquatic escapade.
ERGONOMICS
A boat that’s 100% fun
The Tiwal 3 revolutionizes the ergonomics of sailing dinghies with its innovative features: an inflatable hull that remains rigid while sailing, a spacious and uncluttered deck, simplified controls, and a boomless sail. The outcome? Unbridled enjoyment in harnessing the elements of wind and water.
For added comfort during hiking out, optional foam protectors on the wings are available. Whether sailing solo or with a partner, the Tiwal 3 ensures ease and pleasure in every excursion on the water.

The Tiwal 3 small sailboat embodies innovation with cutting-edge materials, a minimalist rig, and a bold approach to design.

TIWAL 3 SAILS
Sail in all weathers
The 75 ft² sail is a powerful mainsail, suitable for one or two adults out in a light to moderate breeze.
The 56 ft² sail is very versatile. It works well for adults sailing in a good breeze, and for the kids in lighter wind conditions.
Lastly, the reefable 75/56 ft² sail is an all-weather mainsail, whose area can be adapted to suit the wind strength. If the weather changes, you just need to make a quick stop on the beach to make your optimal sail area.
