The Tiwal 3R is a supercharged and easy to sail dinghy. It accelerates at the slightest gust, and its power allows you to move to the next gust while maintaining your speed. He starts planning quickly, and plays with the elements, at sea and on the lake. At sea, it's a joy to place your boat on the top of the swell and come back down, accelerating to the surf. Breathe well, it's euphoric.
The Tiwal 3R has excellent marine behavior, even when the seas are rough. It rises well in the wind and turns into a pocket handkerchief. The boat combines lightness and responsiveness for exceptional sensations on board. Have fun, you are in charge!
The boat was designed by sailors, for sailors. It is mainly a solo boat but can be used double. He is resolutely strong in sensations. No need for great physical condition!
The main commands are directly accessible in navigation. The vang, cunningham and outboard adjustment controls are sent to starboard and port to adjust the sail at any time and extend the glide. Braided ends with a Dyneema® core allow ultra-precise adjustment of the controls that require it. And since the boat is light, adjustments to the settings are immediately felt.
The vang also has a traveler adapted to the structure of the boat and allows the sail to be opened wide downwind. The sheet passes through a turret with a cam cleat for greater comfort. In the sail, a large monofilm window offers a large field of vision to monitor the immediate environment on the water.
The extended wings at the rear allow the sailor to position himself optimally according to the strength of the wind and the trajectory of the boat. The boat gains in stability and performance, especially when the wind increases.
You have a boat in your car trunk. It is magic ! The Tiwal 3R is the easily transportable sports boat. It's super compact. It fits in a bag for the structure, a bag for the hull, and a third for the sail. The sail can even fold in half to fit in a bag the same length as the boat bags. Whether for leisure or competition, your sailboat accompanies you on all bodies of water. It's a new way to enjoy the pleasure of sailing.
The boat assembles in 25 minutes without tools*. Each end pass is color coded to facilitate rig installation.
Disassembly is even faster: less than 20 minutes to put the boat back in the bags.
*just a batten wrench for tension adjustment
The inflatable shell is in fusion technology for rigidity close to a polyester shell with the added benefit of lightness. This technology favors a structural assembly of different layers of materials. The shaping of the inflatable parts is welded for excellent longevity over time. Finally, the hull is equipped with a right-angled rail on the rear to ensure good water flow and optimal performance.
The sail is designed by our partner North Sails, especially for the Tiwal 3R. Its tri-radial cut makes it a very efficient sail which allows great finesse in the adjustments. It is constructed of laminated Xi v2 fabric from competitive sailing. It is a flexible, strong and light material, offering excellent resistance to elongation. Its matte black color offers a non-reflective surface which makes it easier to quickly read the shape of the sail. Added to this are strong slats. They are adjustable to adjust the power according to wind conditions, and allow better air flow. The result is a very stiff sail with excellent shape retention. The rig is equipped with a 90% carbon mast and boom. It contributes to the dynamism of the boat.
