Very responsive, stable, and comfortable in light winds, the Tiwal 3 is dynamic in more challenging conditions. Whether you’re sailing solo or double-handed, it is perfect for your adventures at sea or on a lake! Boat of the Year Award | Best Innovation | by Sailing World U.S.A. "The thing was a blast. I couldn't believe how well it sailed. You could have some serious fun with this, especially in big breeze." -------------------------- ** The Tiwal story ** * The Birth of Tiwal * As a girl, the first time our founder Marion Excoffon was told, “No!” by her father when she asked to use the family boat, her life as an inventor began. It was then she started dreaming of building her own craft, an ambitious feat that would come true years later. On the road to creating an innovative high-speed vessel for everyone from kids and first timers to expert sailors who want to test limits, there were a number of prototypes, failures, challenges and headaches. But, if there’s one thing Marion’s known for, it’s her sailor’s grit! * Combining Fun & Technology * The award winning Tiwal concept is easy assembly and storage - maximum fun and performance for watersports and activities. A Tiwal isn’t your average dinghy! Our design is the result of tons of coordination, talent, and technological savvy. * A Growing Global Community * For our community of Tiwal skippers (more than 2,500 worldwide!) all this innovative design means their focus is fixed on the pleasures of watersports and having tons of fun on a responsive sailing craft. With excellent upwind and downwind abilities combined with high-speeds, Tiwals are a part of both fun and professional performance. The Tiwal 3 received the Boat of the Year (Best innovation) Award 2014 from Sailing World in the USA and the Red Dot Award, with recognitions, accolades, and smiling faces continuing to join together on the waves worldwide.

Tiriamo su l’ancora verso le 7:30. La giornata inizia con un piovasco leggero. Superate le gocce del mattino, sale il vento. Un pezzo di Genoa e subito corriamo a 6 nodi. Tutto procede tranquillo. Oggi più che mai il concetto “più vento meno tela” ci permette di condurre una navigazione tranquilla. 30 nodi di bolina, un fazzoletto di Genoa e la velocità di 5,5 nodi ci permette di non sdraiare la barca, anzi di svolgere una navigazione rilassata e serena. Si avvicina il momento dell’ormeggio a le marin. E qui si apre la riflessione del giorno. Ormeggio da quando sono ragazzino, molto prima di prendere la patente. In varie condizioni, dalle più impegnative alle più rilassate. Julia non ha l’elica di prua e questo non ha mai rappresentato un problema nè ne ho mai percepito il desiderio. Oggi mentre ci avviciniamo al porto guardo l’anemometro: 20/24 nodi. Sempre 20/24 nodi. Non scende. Speriamo in un posto barca che abbia vento in poppa, penso. Arriviamo, arriva il gommone che ci indica il posto barca. Completamente al traverso. Vento a 90gradi da sinistra. Qui l’ormeggio si fa di poppa, con corpomorto preso da una boa a prua. Quindi facendo retromarcia per entrare nel posto barca bisogna essere anche precisi nel non prendere la trappa nell’elica (essendo le boe molto ravvicinate). Do retromarcia, la barca prende velocità. Diventa manovrabile con facilità, entro tra le boe. Qui arrivano i 20 soliti nodi al traverso. Ok, bisogna fare in fretta. Cami fissa la prua, io la poppa. Julia è blindata e al sicuro. Anche questa volta danni zero.. Qui veniamo al punto. Non ho mai sbagliato un ormeggio. Non lo dico con arroganza, lo dico con sicurezza (complice il fatto forse di avere sempre una soglia di attenzione molto alta). Eppure ogni volta, ogni nuovo ormeggio è come se fosse il primo. Dimentichi di quella volta in cui avevi 30 nodi al traverso, non 20, e tutto andò bene lo stesso. Dimentichi tutto, la statistica sparisce. Ogni ormeggio è come il primo. Forse è proprio per questo “non prendere le cose sotto gamba” che per fortuna non dobbiamo leccarci le ferite dopo ogni operazione delicata. A.
