HISTORY 1969 1975 1979 1979 1984 TG-boats since 1973 At the end of the sixƟes Tage Gustafson (TG) started to build racing boats and he won his rst Finnish Championship in 1970. Tage, a boat and shipbuilder in the fourth generaƟon, who had earned his living at his own ship since he was a teenager moved ashore in 1973 and started to sell outboard engines and produce racing boats. Three years later, when the business expanded to involve service of outboards and winter storage of boats, his brother Kim joined the company. Racing boats of glass bre were serial produced unƟl the mid eighƟes. In...

BUILDING THE TG-ALFA Already when we started the planning of the boat we chose to do it in a dierent way and use the strength of our company, i.e. to build a boat without compromises for a certain purpose. Nowadays it has been a trend to build boats that are massproduced to suit as many users as possible, this has lead to compromises. We wanted to build a boat that could be used as what we call a ”commuter” and a boat that could be used for daily trips by the whole family, because in our opinion this kind of boat did not exist on the market. What do these customers require? And which...

WITHOUT COMPROMISES TG-Alfa is built to be a boat without compromises when you use it as a commuter boat or daily trip boat. The boat has responded to the high demands on sea-going, pracƟcal environment for the user and large storage compartments. In order to safely move around in the boat, we chose a cabin of walk around type and two very wide sliding doors. Some of the many things we have thought about in order to make boating simpler • • • • • • • • • • • • • You get on board to a non slippery deck using the steps. The deck is all-around on the same level with grab rails and handrails...

NOTE • • • • • • • -There is a grab rail in the door opening that gives a natural support when moving into the sofa or entering the cabin. It is also possible for two persons to stand in the cabin when using this support. If you want to enjoy a glass of wine among good friends, it is possible to get a removable table as extra equipment. It can be used between the sofa and the turn able seats, if you want; it is also possible to move it to the front deck where 4 persons can sit. The open rope boxes in the aŌ works as air intakes when you drive, this air will venƟlate all the storage...

A. DRIVING PERFORMANCE B. DRIVING PERFORMANCE C. Dry and quiet D. Economy E. Speed This was the ranking of the design qualiƟes when developing and tesƟng the hull of TG-Alfa. This may sound a liƩle bit crazy, but driving performance is actually the only quality that you cannot change or buy aŌerwards. If one wants or need to drive a liƩle bit faster, he can just choose a larger engine. The TG-boats have always been recognized for its good driving performance and therefore it was very natural to develop the next generaƟons hull,”FreseO ”. Since the development of tradiƟonal hulls has come...

SAFETY = PRACTICAL AND COMFORTABLE TO USE One of the main demands of the TG-Alfa planning was that moving around in the boat should be safe, easy and pracƟcal. Very high free board, wide walking decks without steps increases the safety on board and minimizes the risk to fall overboard. This is especially important since the boat is normally used for a long season and very oŌen there are children and pets walking around in the boat. These types of boats are normally also used by people that are alone at the sea and especially in the late autumns when it is cold and slippery, is safety...
