The IZIBoat Collapses Down When Not in Use for Easy Towing
Michael Hemsworth — July 21, 2023 — Art & Design
The IZIBoat catamaran is a portable take on the vessel design that's ready to provide operators with the ability to set it up for use almost anywhere and anytime. The vessel has been designed by architect and self-taught windsurfer. François Tessier through more than 10 prototypes before being extensively tested by 1,600 novice sailors. The vessel is constructed with a series of polyester resin on fiberglass twin hulls that have been coated in gel to further protect against abrasions when dragged on the sand.
The IZIBoat catamaran offers seating for up to four crew members with a total weight rating of 617-pounds. An electric motor will help the vessel achieve a top sailing speed of 15-knots.
