A lovely example of the classic British Tinker Tramp inflatable dinghy, offered with its sailing equipment and a good range of original/useful accessories.

The boat has recently been fully assembled and rigged so that the condition and completeness of thesailing setup could be checked and photographed. It presents very well for its age and would make a characterful sailing tender, compact family dinghy or classic Tinker for an enthusiast.

Most importantly, the dinghy has just completed a 24-hour inflation test successfully. It was photographed at the beginning and end of the test, with the time and date visible on a wristwatch, and there was no noticeable loss of pressure.

Included are inflatable Tinker Tramp dinghy, mast, boom, sails, rudder, tiller, daggerboard/centreboard, floorboards, wooden seating/fittings, oars, pump, lines and associated rigging shown in the photographs.

The tubes, fittings and sailing equipment show age-related cosmetic wear, as you would expect from a classic used inflatable, so please study the photographs carefully. It is being sold as a used boat rather than represented as restored or ‘as new’.

A particularly appealing feature of the Tinker design is that it packs down far smaller than a conventional rigid sailing dinghy while still providing a proper sailing setup.

Plenty of detailed photographs are available, including the boat inflated, the individual components, the fully rigged sailing configuration and the before/after inflation-test photographs.
Collection preferred. Sensible questions and viewings welcome. Happy to show the complete kit to a serious buyer.

It has mostly been used as a tender and for motor cruising on the Thames, so the sailing equipment is in very good condition.

The hull holds air very well and is in good condition.
