The two bags can be easily stowed in the forepeaks of a catamaran, in a locker, or even on deck while you’re under way. And of course, the compact Tiwal 2 sailboat will also fit in the trunk of your car, in your RV, or you can even take it on a plane!
Sail however you want, the Tiwal 2 will adapt. Single-handed, one adult and a child, two children. Its round scow-shaped bow adds volume up front and makes the boat particularly easy to helm. Its inflatable wings provide additional lateral stability when under way. The Tiwal 2 is a small sailboat that has all the features of a big one, with reactive and playful behavior on the water.
Assembling a Tiwal 2 is child’s play. There are very few parts to assemble. Inflate the hull, clip on the structural sections, finish inflating and then add the rig and sheet. All this in just 15 minutes and with no tools required. Your Tiwal 2 is ready! And disassembly? Same thing, but in reverse, and it’s just as quick.
The Tiwal 2 tiny sailboat is very safe for sailors: the deck is clear, the controls are simple, and the sail has been designed to be boomless. The inflatable wings also provide incomparable comfort when hiking out, or as a backrest in a sitting position.
The yellow sail is easy to see on the water. Are your kids going out on your Tiwal 2 sailboat? You can spot them at a glance!
Once assembled, the inflated hull can be stored on the trampoline at the front of a catamaran or on the deck of a monohull cruiser. Launching your Tiwal is really simple as it’s light and easy to handle. Just tie a line at the mast step and lower the Tiwal 2 hull into the water.
The Tiwal 2 hull also has seven carrying handles around the perimeter for easy handling from any position. Once the hull is on the water, simply pop the rudder on, the centerboard and the mast with the sail. Your little sailboat is now ready for boarding!
The yellow sail wraps around the mast. At anchor, it’s easy to leave your Tiwal 2 tied off the stern of your cruising boat, or pulled on the beach if you’ve gone for a swim.
Designed by Marion Excoffon, the Tiwal 2 answers the need to take a pocket boat everywhere with you, especially on a yacht. The desire was to extend the experience of sailing when at anchor. The Tiwal 2 has become the new toy for all the family, for sharing good times and creating some unforgettable memories. Its unique features, including its inflatable hull and wings, offer a fun and safe sailing experience while making it easy to use. Its look and cheerful colors spice up life on board. This model is manufactured in the Tiwal workshops according to our quality standards.
