Helm a real small sailboat

Comfortable and secure for beginners to practice on, it is a lively and fast monohull for more seasoned sailors seeking sensations and adventure.

When not in use, it is discreet, can be tidied away in a closet or (small) corner of the garage.

Ergonomics
A boat that’s 100% fun
The Tiwal 3 brings new ergonomics to sailing dinghies with its inflatable hull (but rigid when under way), its clear deck, simplified controls and finally a boomless sail. The result? Maximum fun for playing with the wind and water. It even has optional foam protectors on the wings for even more comfort when hiking out. It makes both single and double-handed sailing easy and enjoyable.
Innovative concept and premium manufacturing
Cutting edge materials, a rig reduced to the absolute minimum and a good touch of daring!
The Tiwal 3 small sailboat is a revolution in the world of dinghy sailing and is the result of serious engineering and realization.
The frequently rewarded combination of an inflatable hull with an aluminum structure enables the Tiwal 3 to have exceptional rigidity.
With over 2,000 boats sold, the Tiwal 3 dinghy is a tried and tested boat, made in France according to industry standards.

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.

"I load the Tiwal into the back of the car and go. I can sail off a floating dock, a ramp, or the beach. Lake, river, the Bay, the Aegean Sea: you name it, I’ve done it all."

"The most fun is catching waves and having a bit of a surf, the wide hull and v-shaped underside planing easily and quickly. It tacks easily, points well and certainly doesn’t feel like sailing an inflatable tender."
