Tringa is an amphibious road and all-terrain pleasure boat of 6.42 m (overall length) imagined by Daniel Guirec and designed by the architect Pierre Delion. Thanks to its three wheels installed under its hull, the Tringa is able to drive on the road at a maximum speed of 16 km/h, in an autonomous way, without being towed or without a trailer. The designer has just obtained the authorization of the government so that his boat can circulate on the road. It will be necessary of course to be in possession of its license B.
This new type of boat allows the yachtsman to access the water directly and quickly, without worrying about having a place in the harbor, provided that he lives only a few kilometers from the sea. "For example, if your backyard is 2 kilometers from a water access, TRINGA allows you to navigate in 8 minutes from your door." reads the Tringaboat website. For a longer distance, the boat can be transported on a conventional trailer, without the use of a winch.
It is equipped with a 4-stroke gasoline engine (27 HP) dedicated to land propulsion, located under the console, in the hull, and driving a hydraulic pump that distributes hydraulic oil under pressure to the hydraulic motors located in the wheels. Its 102 L gasoline tank is common to navigation and road.
Tringa goes out and in the water automatically in less than a minute, just by pressing a button, without leaving the helm chair. At sea, it will look like a normal boat since the wheels automatically enter the hull and it remains perfectly closed and watertight.

High freeboards (65 cm at the rear and 69 cm at the front) make it safe to move around the boat.
