TRIBORD 5S

-

The Tribord 5S is a compact inflatable boat from French sports brand, Decathlon, that packs down into two bags. It is clearly designed for the fun-sailing-for-kids end of the spectrum and is not dissimilar to the Tiwal boats in that the hull is broadly a large standup paddleboar­d. It has inflatible tubes to create a semblance of a cockpit. The mast is stabilised through standing rigging attached to the inflatible hull, so you would expect limited stiffnesss in the rig, which may be detrimenta­l to sailing performanc­e.
