Tinker Foldaway RIB £750 o.n.o. Hawkinge (near Dover, Kent) (ad placed 09/10/2021)

Tinker Foldaway RIB sailing dinghy, manufactured in 2009, sail number 7688. Comes with full sailing kit in a very good condition.  See photos, for videos/info available just ask.  Holds air/pressure well.  There are no repairs to the air chambers, just some scuffing marks. It has been used as a tender on a sailboat for several years. This Tinker came with our yacht when we bought it in 2019.  We have not used it since and it has been kept in dry storage. It is easy to store and transport, can be rapidly inflated 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. There are 3 fibreglass rigid parts which all fold to make it one third of the size of the dinghy. Included, (see photo for complete list): Jib Mainsail 4 piece mast Daggerboard Rudder/tiller Two-piece wooden oars Battens Blocks Owner's manual Two bags Protected by the included cover when folded & stored on deck. Price - sensible offers in the region of £750.  Pick-up and cash only.

Tinker Traveller £300 o.n.o. Meteren, The Netherlands. (ad placed 03/10/2021)

Classic Tinker Traveller, sail number 1374, manufactured circa 1987, built by Andrew Butt. Condition can be described as fair as some TLC is required. The left inner tube does not hold air, the left outer tube is sound and holds air well (so I just inflate the outer tube when sailing).  The right inner tube is sound and holds air well, the valve on the right outer tube needs replacing (the attempted repair used incompatible materials).  The full kit for this type of repair is readily available online - see here or here for a couple of examples. I have also the original inflatable orange rescue cover though it looks as though this has been over-inflated as some point as some of the inner seams have separated. Boat comes with: Mainsail Jib 3 piece mast Boom Oars Daggerboard Storage covers x 3 Rudder Ropes Pump More photos on request. To collect in Meteren, The Netherlands or to be shipped to the UK at cost to buyer. Price £300 o.n.o.

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): Jib Mainsail 3 piece mast Mast support beam Daggerboard Rudder/tiller Two-piece wooden oars Battens Blocks Original new repair kit Various cables (including the ones removed from the bottom of the RIB) Protected by the included cover when folded & stored on deck, always stored inside during winter. 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.
