Tinker Foldawy RIB & 3 hp Mariner outboard £900 o.n.o. Saddleworth, North of Manchester or Anglesey (by arrangement) (ad placed 21/07/2022) |
This is a 9 foot long Tinker Foldaway RIB sailing dinghy manufactured in 2000, hull identification number GBJMH06881A000, sail number 6881. I am the second owner, it was used for a yacht tender but hardly saw any use. I bought it for fishing but found out it wasn't big enough for my needs, and I've only used it a couple of times hence the immaculate condition. So hopefully a Tinker enthusiast will get the maximum use out of it. Condition is excellent - only minor scrapes on the daggerboard and rudder, no punctures at all. Sails and everything else are like brand new. Includes jib, mainsail, 3 piece mast, mast support beam, daggerboard, rudder/tiller, 2 wooden oars with captive rowlocks, original repair kit and various ropes. She has a bow dodger (front spray cover) and comes with a Mariner 3 horse power engine in perfect working order. It has always been stored inside and very well looked after as you can see from the photos. Price £900 o.n.o. Pick up only. |

Classic Tinker Tramp £500 Dunbar, East Lothian (ad placed 12/07/2022) |
Classic Tinker Tramp, year of manufacture 1994, sail number 5310, hull identification number JMHGB310E094. The dinghy is in good overall condition. Tinkers have two tubes per side - one is an inner tube made of lighter material than the outer tube and is there in case the outer tube should deflate. In some older Tinkers the inner tube can develop a leak (the air leaks into the outer tube). This is the case with this Tinker and the price reflects this. It does not affect the sailing ability of the Tinker, and we know of at least one that still competes successfully at the Tinker rallies. The oars, daggerboard and rudder are in very good condition and the sails, boom and mast are as good as new. Unlike the sleeved sails of the early classic Tinkers, this Tramp has the modern mast with a track to slide the luff of the mainsail into. Price £500. |

Tinker Star Traveller £600 Salcombe (ad placed 14/06/2022) |
Classic Tinker Star Traveller, sought after bulkhead version. Good condition for her age. Comes with mast, boom, mainsail, small jib, masthead jib with furler, kicking strap on the boom, bulkhead, bow beam (holds the bow down when using the bigger jib), oars, daggerboaard, rudder, original pump, and transom wheels. Also includes a jerry rigged cover, and a sprung widget that came with the boat but I have no idea what it does. I always sail single handed and have mastered the jib furler and find it a great addition. I haven't sailed with the small jib but have wondered if this would be a better option when alone. I have sailed her on our local estuary and beyond in some wonderful weather and also in conditions beyond unsuitable. She has been tested to destruction and has passed with flying colours. She has also been used as our tender and performs better than any other inflatable the 4hp outboard has been on. There is one historical repair to one tube, and has the usual marks and scrapes associated with a boat of this age. The seat has been repaired which gets in the way when folding her up, but it's nothing that a piece of ply wouldn't solve. One brass eyelet in the mainsail may need attention, and there are a few rust marks on the jib. A new bag for the mast and boom would look good but the original still functions. I would like her to go to another devotee of the marque who will make the best of this great little sailing dinghy. Price £600. |

Tinker Funsail with Performance Sailing Kit £400 Lymington, Hampshire (ad placed 13/06/2022) |
Tinker Funsail, sail number 6902, including sailing rig, and all accessories as shown in photos. Funsail - (10'3"/3.15m long, 52ft2/4.83m2 sail area) Unusually for a Funsail it has two mast steps and two jibs with the performance sailing kit. It packs down smaller than most Tinkers as it has the four part mast and two part boom. It was purchased from new by my father, I believe to be around 2002 as a tender and a liferaft for his boat. The liferaft model is indicated by the valves in front of the transom and the flap with the eyelets in it running around the top of the tube. It has been used as a tender but only sailed a handful of times so the sails and rigging are in very good / as new condition. The hull went to a local RIB repair last year as it was a bit leaky when left in the water while being used as a tender and I have not used it since. I also notice having pumped it up for the photos one section of one tube does have a very slow leak as it has gone a bit soft over the week. It has a custom build full cover that was always on while being used as a tender and stored on the front of the boat. Price £400. |

Tinker Foldaway RIB Sensible offers in the region of £750 Located in Haarlem (near Amsterdam), the Netherlands. (ad placed 20/09/2021) |
Tinker Foldaway RIB sailing dinghy, manufactured in August 2001, sail number 6967. Comes with full unused sailing kit in new condition. It is 9'/2.75m long, and has a 59ft2/5.5m2 sail area. See the brochure. I am the second owner of this Tinker foldaway RIB that has been used as a tender on a sailboat for several years. As I have never used the sailing kit, it is time to offer it for sale to someone interested in a sailing dinghy/tender. It combines ease of storage and transportation, rapid deployment (just inflate) and has the advantages of a rigid bottom when rowing/motoring and landing on a rocky shore. The 2 small transom wheels makes it easy to roll up a ramp. Condition - (see pictures, more pics/info available, just ask). It is in a well used but ready to use condition and holds air/pressure for several days before needing a little top up. There are no repairs to the air chambers, just some scuffing marks and missing a line on one side where the loops failed. The fibreglass rigid parts have been maintained, repaired, upgraded with epoxy/fibreglass as shown on the pictures. Some white paint would go a long way to make it looks nicer! The sailing kit (see pictures) is as brand new, never installed and includes all that is shown on the pictures PLUS a few small items that were missed during pictures taking. Included, but not limited to (see pictures for complete list):
Price - sensible offers in the region of £750 o.n.o. Located in Haarlem (near Amsterdam), the Netherlands. Pick-up or will deliver to a local shipping store of your choice who can do packaging/shipping for you. |
