Tinker Traveller & 4hp Outboard £750 o.n.o. Harrow, NW London (ad placed 24/09/2024) |
Mid 90's Tinker Traveller, sail number 5516, with 4hp outboard motor. Great condition (garage stored), no repairs and lightly used. Photos taken and inflation tested in August '24. Comes with full sailing kit, oars, anchor and launch wheels (wheel frame has some paint flaking and rusting). The gudgeons for the rudder appear to be missing as the boat was mostly used with the outboard. Replacements are readily available and inexpensive (£6.00 each, two required). Also comes with with a 4hp Johnson Sea Horse outboard motor with emergency cut-out fitted. Has been stored in a garage with the boat. I have not tested the motor as I'm unfamiliar about how to do so safely after being stored for a long period (boat and engine have been inherited), but it was well maintained and put away functioning. Price £750 o.n.o. - cash or bank transfer. |

Tinker Tramp & Mariner 2.5 HP outboard £600 o.n.o. Lochwinnoch, 20 miles west of Glasgow (ad placed 12/08/2024) |
We purchased our Tinker Tramp, sail number 2411, when in Grenada in the Caribbean in 2014. Since then we have circumnavigated the world with her ('with' her not in her!). We arrived back in Scotland in June last year. She is for sale with one set of Sanders sails, oars, rudder (which has an aluminium tiller), daggerboard, dyneema standing rigging, two bags for the vessel and the mast, dagger board and oars. She also comes with the original pump. I replaced two of the screw in valves which came with their fixings which I didn't need to fit. She is equipped with stainless steel fittings and has a four point bridle to allow hoisting onboard our yacht using a halyard. With our Tinker we include a Mariner 2.5 HP two stroke outboard. The outboard was last serviced by me about two years ago. It started third pull yesterday. It has been an extremely reliable engine. We sailed her in many of the countries we visited some of the photographs below were taken there. She is in amazing condition considering her presumed age and she has outlived our Avon RIB and it's aluminium replacement! Price £600 o.n.o. |

Tinker Star Traveller £395 East Grinstead (ad placed 28/05/2024) |
I am reluctantly selling my classic Tinker Star Traveller as, despite fitting comfortably in the car, she is just a bit heavy for me to get to and from the water by myself. Much easier with two people, but not generally an option for me! She is in good condition for her age - sails, rigging, spars and floor are all good. There is a slow leak from the inner tube (rear) valves, it is no problem for a few hours sailing but if you are staying on the water all day you may wish to replace the valves. Alternately the inside tubes can be left deflated and just the outer tubes used, but of course with less redundancy if you hit a particularly sharp rock! The only other known minor problem is the tiller extension has come off the tiller at the rubber universal joint, and these are readily available from a chandler - see here. The sale includes the hull, daggerboard and rudder/tiller, oars, standard sailing rig (mast, boom, two mainsails (one with slight damage), and small jib) and the performance sailing kit (furling masthead jib, bulkhead, 2 x bow bracing beams, kicking strap, and tiller extension). Plus the inflation pump, blue spars bag and red sail bag. Also has extra brackets at the rear of the tubes aft of the transom and the rudder. These are for mounting a second "dummy" transom to take an outboard. Could possibly deliver locally (within an hour of East Grinstead) by prior arrangement. Price £395. |
