Tinker Foldaway RIB
£750 o.n.o.
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 £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.

Central London,
near Victoria Station
(ad placed 29/08/2021)

Tinker Tramp, sail number 2568.  I am the second owner.  She has been used in the Mediterranean and was a marvellous tender.  One of the easiest boats to row I have every used.
