The Tiwal 2 is a brilliantly compact, go‑anywhere sailing dinghy designed for sailors who want freedom, simplicity, and pure fun on the water. Marketed as “the sailing dinghy that goes where you go”, it’s built for everything from solo planing sessions in a fresh breeze to exploring creeks with the kids or introducing young sailors to the joy of wind and water.
What makes the Tiwal 2 so compelling is its true travel‑size design. Packed neatly into two lightweight bags, it can be stowed in a catamaran forepeak, a locker, on deck, in the boot of your car, in an RV, or even checked onto a plane—giving you a sailboat that follows wherever adventure leads.
On the water, the Tiwal 2 behaves like a much larger dinghy. Its round scow‑shaped bow adds volume and makes it exceptionally easy to helm, while the inflatable wings provide stability and comfort underway. Reactive, playful, and confidence‑inspiring, it adapts effortlessly to single‑handed sailing, an adult with a child, or two children learning together.
Assembly is part of its magic. With very few parts, the Tiwal 2 can be inflated, clipped together, rigged, and ready to sail in just 15 minutes, no tools required—perfect for cruisers, families, and anyone who values spontaneity on the water.
Designed by Marion Excoffon, the Tiwal 2 was created to extend the joy of sailing while at anchor—a pocket sailboat that has become a favourite among families, sailing schools, and superyacht crews alike. Its cheerful colours, boomless sail, and ergonomic layout make it safe, comfortable, and instantly appealing for sailors of all ages.
Lightweight, stable, and beautifully engineered, the Tiwal 2 is the perfect companion for sailors who want to explore, teach, play—or simply enjoy the pure pleasure of sailing wherever they drop anchor.
