Tinker Star Traveller £800 Kirkcudbright, South West Scotland. (ad placed 06/05/2013)

Tinker Star Traveller, year 1988, sail number 1653.  A well-used but well looked after example of this much sought-after inflatable sailing dinghy. 12' inflatable dinghy with folding wooden floor, fitted wooden thwart (with custom-made stainless steel reinforcement) and dagger board case.  Tinkers are recognised as a class by the RYA.  Can be sailed, rowed or take up to a 5hp outboard.  Wooden floor folds up when dinghy is deflated so that it will fit in a good-sized car boot or on a roofrack.  Henshaw Inflatables' Tinker range has an excellent reputation for quality materials and build. Comes with the high performance rig, liferaft canopy, gas cylinders and drogue.  Equipment to make the dinghy a liferaft.  The liferaft equipment has never been used. Also comes with: Boat bag - a robust bag/cover for the deflated dinghy Bulkhead to support mast Mast (4 sections) (the track needs a small pop rivet) Boom Bow stiffener Bow canopy stretcher Tiller/ rudder unit with new hardwood rudder and tiller Dagger board Mainsail, masthead jib and smaller jib Shrouds, main halyard (new), foresail halyard (new) Main sheet tackle, jib sheets, kicking strap, foresail tack downhaul Wooden oars with captive rowlocks Foot pump - high capacity Dismantleable launching trolley Sailing kit holdall (spars and sails bag) Liferaft canopy - slight soiling from storage but otherwise as new Drogue sea anchor - as new 2 gas cylinders - full - though these should be checked and probably refilled before use - the labels have faded almost completely but the valves appear in good order. Some scratches and scuffs to the wooden panels and stains to the fabric but everything in working order and sails as well as when new. Small patch on port tube. Port tube needs valve cap replaced to make airtight (slow leak). Price £800.  Buyer collects.

Tinker Star Traveller £480 near Chelmsford, Essex. (ad placed 28/04/2013)

Tinker Star Traveller, sail no. 949.  This inflatable sailing boat is in good condition for its age (probably built early 1980s), has had little use and the colourful sails are in excellent almost 'as new' condition. 3 section mast Performance sailing rig (bulkhead model) All the necessary sailing equipment is included. The boat's colour is a little faded and there is one secure airtight repair patch so the price is set to allow for this. The hull was inflated recently with the included foot pump and it remained fully inflated.  It has been stored in dry, suitable conditions. The electric outboard motor and its battery (in the photos) are not included with the boat because we use them with another boat. Please contact by email to request a viewing appointment. Price £480.

Tinker Bits & Bobs £Bottle of wine or equivalent. South Fremantle, Western Australia. (ad placed 21/04/2013

I thought your members might be interested to hear and see what happened to my Tinker Tramp TR 5973 when she was dramatically overinflated - see here for the details. Following the demise of my Tinker I now have available the liferaft canopy, drogue, CO2 cylinders and I cut the valves out in case they are useful.  All going for the price of a good bottle of wine or equivalent.  There is however one slight snag - I live in Western Australia, so the lucky recipient will have to either organise their own freight or pop over one weekend to pick them up (?!). Price £Bottle of wine or equivalent.

Tinker Traveller £200 Bridgend, S. Wales. (ad placed 06/01/2013)

An early boat but, in return for a little TLC, plenty of life left in this tinker. Bought as a project for a cunning plan involving a Hobie Mirage Drive, which never got off the drawing board due to the price of the mirage drives!  Sad to see it sitting unused, so here it is for sale. Ideal as a cheap & generously sized tender. It has the slot in the floor board (blanked over) but no daggerboard sleeve and has the narrow thwart - so would be a bit of a project it you wanted to add the sailing kit. The Hypalon material is in good condition. Floorboards are painted and sound but might benefit from repainting. The forward port valve needs replacing. The port side inner tube has perished. I've spoken to 'Rib & Dinghy Repair' who said that as long as you don't intend to use it as a liferaft it is not necessary to replace it, but they can do so if required. No oars, pump or rowlocks included. Price £200. (Depending on timing could possibly get it to Pembrokeshire, Bristol or perhaps Poole/Christchurch).
