Assembly of the inflatable sailing boat Tiwal 3 with Marion EXCOFFON (TIWAL Designer) on board ! In real life, it takes less than 20 minutes to inflate and assemble a Tiwal 3. Each year the Tiwal Cup begins with an « assembly challenge ». It’s a competition to see who can inflate and assemble their boat the fastest. In 2017 Gregory Prelat and Melanie Vial set a doublehanded inflation and assembly record of 6 minutes 28 secondes. Gilles Bajolet took the solo win with a time just under 11 minutes. -------------------------- Subscribe for more Tiwal sailing videos : https://www.youtube.com/c/tiwal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about Tiwal and check out our Best Videos : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp7rkGxzrxNpemhhNJ0kB8mHF9q0IZWBA -------------------------- ** The Tiwal 3 Sailboat ** The Tiwal 3 inflatable sailing dinghy comes in two bags that are easily transportable by car, boat and even by plane.

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.

Our latest video, Sailing Soccer Mum, is a cruiser and family friendly guide to Townsville, Queensland. We have been in Townsville for a couple months and we have found some wonderful (and FREE) places to visit, see, and activities to do with kids - and bonus is that they are all within walking distance from the marina. Breakwater Marina- Walking distance to the supermarkets (Coles and Woolworths). Great Staff, you can be liveaboards in the marina. The facilities include toilets, showers, laundry area, bins and there is a courtest car for hire ($10 for 2 hours) Castletown Shopping Center - A bit further of a distance but it is certainly a fun day out. They have a Play center (free) for kids, supermarkets, BIG W, doctors, optometrists, cafes, shoppes, and lots lots more. We really enjoyed going to the Teddy Beat Tea Time out on during school holidays - a free event for kids! Townsville City Library (Flinders Street) Located on the second floor of the building, and it is free to become a member. They have free wifi, a crafts table for kids, and a kids courner filled with books, toys, dress up, and a tent! We really enjoyed our time at the library. Museum of Tropical Queensland Free entry but they do put on special exhibits and the special short time ones are a small fee. They have a science area that you can easily spend hours in with kids and lots of interactive activities and hunts to do around the museum. On the top level (and the far back) is a giant tropical tree with a slide and activity for the kids. Lots to see and very interactive.
