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.

This classic Tinker, in good condition, comes complete with its original daggerboard, tiller, oars, mast and boom, sail and foot pump. All complete.
The valves needed replacing and this has been done.
The mainsail is in virtually unused condition. This is a sleeved mainsail, and this model did not originally come with a jib.
The transom has been strengthened and braced to take a 4hp Honda outboard which was only used once (the outboard has since been sold). I still have the rudder fittings and I can attach these pre-sale if required.
I bought this Tinker Tramp from it’s first owner in 1987. It was owned by him for a couple of years, and he barely used it. I have mostly kept it in dry storage where it remained unused due to me selling my cruiser soon after buying the Tinker. I pump it up occasionally in the garden to make sure it is still in good condition, and apart from that it has been little used.
£500 o.n.o.
Located in Guernsey, Channel Islands.

I bought my Tinker Tramp three years ago intending to use it as a sailing tender to my catamaran but that’ has turned out to be impractical.
She was built in August of 2000 and has a serial number 7059. I have all the original purchase documents. She shows very little use , tubes hold air well, the sails are still crisp. One floorboard has had a crack repaired and that can be seen in the photos. She has the complete rig, foot pump and a collapsible launching dolly.
£600.
