When the view from the camp site is this good and you are with great friends why wouldn’t you want to go to Annecy with your Tinker. It’s been a fantastic week with sunshine and afternoon breezes. A race series, an evening cruise for a meal, boules and just chilling. What a fantastic week.

Tinker Star Traveller, sail number 6522, year of manufacture 1998, Hull Identification Number GBJMH065226898.
Good condition.

Mariner 4hp Outboard has been recently serviced and used.

Collection near Billingshurst, West Sussex.
Tinker Tramp 7185, year of manufacture 2001.
Complete boat, spars with bag, sails, foils, oars, foot pump, some spare bits.
Bought by me 12 years ago, sailed approximately 5 times with my children, then stored for the last 8 years.
The spars, sails, foils and oars seem to be almost unused although there is a little corrosion on the mast.
The boat is in good general condition, holds air, good valves, varnish is great.
The only fault I really notice is the white rubber patches between the hull and the transom are degrading and sticky.
Located near Halifax (as far from the sea as you can get!).
Price £750.
Tinker Star Traveller (Gulliver 2), sail number 5201. Year of manufacture approximately 1995.
This is one of the first Star Travellers with the floor mounted bow stiffener but it also has the bulkhead fitted too, for increased stiffness.
The boat is in good condition but could do with a coat of varnish on the laminated tiller and a bit of paint work. There is a minor water leak from the centre board casing but is perfectly sailable.
The boat has dynema shrouds and is rigged with reefing lines on the mainsail. There is a roller furling mast head jib and a small jib. There is a spare dagger board and spare rudder assembly plus a sturdy launching trolley. Oars and pump are included.
This Tinker has always proved competitive at TCOA rallies and I am sad not to be able continue sailing her.
The boat is located in West Yorkshire.
Price £799.
Tinker Super Tramp inflatable sailing dinghy, sail no TR6819.
New in about 1999.
Complete sailing dinghy, colour red with a blue front canopy, with 3 piece mast, 2 piece boom, Red yellow and blue set of mainsail with three battens, mast-head jib and smaller jib, main and jib halliards, 5 stays, main and jib sheets, lifting rudder, tiller and tiller extension, dagger board, original wooden oars, foot pump.
Used for one season only as tender to a sailing boat in about 1999. Sails so little used that they still have the sail maker’s folding creases. All varnish excellent. Sadly it has been in store at home ever since.
One rowlock missing, but still searching for it, plastic clip for tiller extension broken. Otherwise the condition is really like new. Pictures show dinghy inflated, no leaks and it held its pressure for some hours until intentionally deflated.
Located at Lee Ford, Budleigh Salterton, Devon.

Start of the new season for 2026. Our first rally is kindly being hosted by Cotswold Sailing Club, South Cerney in Gloucestershire (GL7 5QJ). Hopefully you can find your Tinker and all the other paraphernalia and come and join us!
As with all our extended rallies you do not have to commit to attend for the full period, if you are only able to make it for some of the days you are still welcome.
Camping at the Club is available from 2pm Thursday 16th until 12 noon on Tuesday 21st.
Access to the water will be available Friday to Monday as and when safety boat cover is available. In addition to the normal couple of days of competitive racing at the weekend there will the opportunity to some free sailing, learn some new sailing techniques and get advice on boat set up.
If there is enough interest and conditions are suitable, a pursuit race with individual handicaps and a novelty race will be run on Monday.
