Your questions answered..

WHICH TIWAL HAS BETTER SAILING PERFORMANCE?
Performance will  depend on crew weight, skills, wind and wave conditions. Both TIWALS will surprise you with their performance - they are manoeuvrable, sail upwind well, and in the right conditions they can exceed 10 knots.   The TIWAL 3 has a V shaped bow which does allow for better handling of waves, and the structure allows better performance in over 15 knots. 
IS THE TIWAL 3 SUITABLE for learning on?
Yes, the TIWAL 3 is extremely stable, safe boat to learn on. In my opinion, it is the best adult learning boat around. You can even take a coach with you on the TIWAL. 
Can I mount an outboard on the back?
Yes, we are working on a mount which attaches to the transom.  We have used an electric outboard which is ideal.  Please contact me for further details. 
Do ALL sails use the same mast?
Yes, all TIWAL products use the same mast.  The top section of the mast is removable for the small sail. 
Is it easy to lift the Sail rig completely off the boat?
Yes. Undo the downhaul, vang, traveller and the knot on the mainsheet. Lift the mast off the boat. 
WHAT DOES A TIWAL FEEL LIKE TO SAIL ? 
The TIWAL 3 has a comfortable grippy deck. It is easy to sail and move around. We have padding for the hiking bars which make hiking more comfortable.  
HOW EASY IS IT TO RIGHT AFTER A CAPSIZE?
The TIWAL is very easy to right by pushing down on the centreboard and to climb aboard from the water with the low deck.  After righting, it self-drains quickly.  
HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER?
Call me or Click 'Enquire here' button on this website to email me.  We may have an agent near you.  Have the boat delivered to your door. 
IS FINANCE AVAILABLE?
Yes, discuss your options with Melinda 
How LOng does it take to rig?
Allow 25 minutes to rig a TIWAL 3.  The record is 10mins, 28 secs! 
How do I protect my TIWAL from the sun?
Keep it out of the sun as much as possible. Deflate slightly when left in the sun. Purchase the UV protection cover. 
WHAT IS The warranty on a TIWAL 3?
THE TIWALS have a warranty of three years for private owners.  Two years for commercial owners. 
CAN THE HIKING FRAME BE REMOVED WITHOUT LOSING AIR PRESSURE IN THE HULL?
Yes, but when refitting the frame, it is best to have the hull semi-inflated. 
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF A TIWAL 3?
The Bigger TIWAL 3 allows more deck room, more crew weight for two adults or more gear and more kids!  
​
Can THE REEFABLE SAIL be altered on the water? 
No, the Reefable Sail must be changed on land.  You can find a video here on how the Reefable Sail works.
