Tinker Tramp, sail No 2031, with all sailing equipment as shown in photos, owned since 2020 and much enjoyed.
For sale only because of buying another boat and not having enough time to make good use.
Sailed much at Llangorse (Brecon Beacons), Lake District, Bala and once at Salcombe.
Previous owner painted trim and spraydeck blue and added very useful dolly wheels for launching. Make sure you lift them once afloat!
I have added the strut across the base of the mast for stability and ease of stepping, but easily removed if not wanted. Have also added a simple kicking strap (riveted to spars). Have replaced pintle and one valve diaphragm, and repainted/varnished all woodwork twice.
Tinker Star Traveller, sail number 5151, manufactured circa 1992, made by Sarah Lovell. Comes with performance sailing kit (furling masthead jib, floorbeam, kicking strap, & tiller extension).
Also comes with mainsail, small jib, 3 piece mast, boom, rudder, daggerboard, Bravo footpump, original wooden oars with captive rowlocks, and the original carrying bags for sailing kit and boat.
I bought this boat from Bridger Marine, Exeter in 2001. It has only been used a few times. In the original handbook and some documentation, there nothing that indicates the exact date of manufacture (TCOA comment – best guess is 1992 from 20 years history of posting Tinker adverts).
When examined this year, there is a slow deflation in one of the compartments. I suspect this is due to a valve. Other than this, it is in good order for its age.
Also, a Honda 2HP 4-stroke outboard. Bought at the same time, very little use.
Price – Tinker £500, Outboard £250, or if bought together £700.
Tinker Foldaway RIB, with foldable rigid glassfibre hull. In excellent condition.
An ideal tender with the ability to have a fun sail too. All original accessories and bags, lifting rudder, and daggerboard.
Can be rigged for sailing, rowing or motoring and, when deflated, folds up small enough to go in the boot of a medium sized car. The mast breaks down into sections, none longer than 1.8m (6ft) and fits comfortably onto a roof rack or into an estate car.
