This little pocket rocket brings the TS philosophy to a coastal cruising catamaran designed by Christophe Barreau and built in La Rochelle by BDComposites. Slender hulls, a compact bridgedeck and a vast deck open to the sea: everything has been designed with light weight in mind. A carbon mast, daggerboards, rudders and crossbeam help keep light displacement down to just 2,094 lbs (950 kg). With two to four berths, the TSwallow is also suitable for multi-day getaways. Thanks to its removable bridgedeck pod and demountable design, the TSwallow can be transported on a road trailer or in a shipping container. With the appendages raised, its draft of just 10" (25 cm) allows access to shallow waters, while the Code 0 and gennaker promise exhilarating sailing in light airs.
We can't wait to discover this little speed machine!
