Tinker Traveller, sail number 1609.
Complete dinghy including sails, mast, boom, centreboard, rudder, pump, rowlocks, oars and all rigging.
Sailed regularly locally and in France (it’s portability was the reason I got it). I bought it nearly 20 years ago second hand so I don’t know its age, but it’s old and well used.
It sails well and I’ve also used it with an outboard (see photo below). It was attacked a few years ago by a rodent who gnawed two holes in the right hand sponson. One was easily repaired (yellow patch in picture) with Hypalon. The other is more difficult as it’s right by the forward reinforcement piece and I’ve never got it completely airtight so after an hour or so’s sailing I have to pump it up a bit! Hence the price. I’m still sailing but as it’s usually solo now I’ve downsized to a Tramp.
I am also offering a 2hp Mariner outboard in good working order.
Tinker Traveller £200. Or Traveller with outboard £325.

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.
Price £400.

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.
