You ask to borrow your dad’s boat and he says no. What do you do?  

For Marion Excoffon, the answer was simple: build your own. Enter TIWAL: the inflatable sailing dinghy that can be packed into two bags and assembled in 20 minutes or less. Each of the two bags are weigh in at 56 lbs each, which is sure to give you an adequate arm work out while transporting, and though kept compact for traveling, this dinghy has a total length of 10.5 ft and can carry up to 418 lbs. All you need to assemble it is inflate the hull, set up the structure, and add the sail. This innovative design allows for unconstrained fun: you can use it independently or with family and friends; you can use it in the mountain lakes or at the ocean’s edge. There are over 700 TIWALs currently and all the rage is on the rise: it’s even already received awards in multiple countries as the boat of the year. It’s available through the website www.tiwal.com for $5,200.
