tamattina, in rada a Presidiana (Cefalù) sveglia un po' prima dell'alba per mettersi in rotta verso Tindari. Con la piccola Horus abbiamo percorso poco meno di 60 miglia. Trasferimento tutto sommato tranquillo, ma per me anche un poco stancante. Lungo la rotta ho trovato due temporali che mi hanno costretto a ridurre le vele, per poi riaprirle. Insomma, abbassa la randa e chiudi il genoa (durante i groppi il vento girava e rinforzava anche fino a 40 nodi), alza la randa e apri il genoa. E così per un paio di volte. Poi, a Gioiosa marea, qui vicino, ikl vento mi ha mollato e le ultime 7 miglia le ho fatto con randa e motore. A mare ho spiegato tutta la mia potenza di fuoco per pescare (due canne e due affondatori). Risultato: fra poco mi preparo un bel piatto di pasta! Ieri sera ho preso una delle mie maledette pillole che se da un lato mi allungano la vita, dall'altra mi fanno stare male per un po'. E temo che, dopo aver parlato con i miei medici, che stasera dovrò ripetere l'operazione. Ma così è la vita e non ho titolo per lamentarmi.

The hulls of Tiwal have been tried and successfully tested under a wide variety of (severe) operating conditions. The hulls are notably made more resistant by an overlay of yellow PVC. A wide band of reinforced PVC (“ragage”), used in rafting, protects the underside of the hulls from friction that may occur during launching and exiting. -------------------------- 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.
