Tinker Tramp instructions manual wanted

[Boo2]

Hi,

I just bought a Tinker Tramp (thanks, BlueChip) and need the owners' manual. I asked Henshaws and the Tinker Owners site but haven't had any reply. The dinghy was made on 2000 if that makes any difference and I'd be really grateful if anyone knows where I can download it from.

Many thanks,

Boo2

a Tinker made in 2000 needs the same inflation and care as a newer or older one.

First I blow up the inner tube almost completely, then the outer one, and top up the inner tube to make sure that both tubes are drum hard - and I mean drum hard. Hit them and they should go BOING !

Try to keep sand out of the floor joint to the hulls.

Otherwise, apart from a rinse in fresh water every time after use, and I store mine partly inflated (up off the ground as mice like the Hypalon ) to keep the wrinkles out of the material.

There's some Sailing instructions on the Tinker Owners website BTW

Best wishes for many happy hours tinkering.

Hi sarabande,

Thanks for the advice and the pointers, but I am specifically looking for the manual.

Hi Boo2,

Is this what you are looking for? You will need to be logged into the Tinker owners group before this link will work.

Although I am reluctantly helping you as I was also bidding for the same boat ;-)!

Congratulations...

It probably is what I am looking for, my application to join is in progress but no result yet ...

Thanks, been looking for one for ages and missed a good chance on eBay a month or so ago. Your time will come...

HI Boo2, sorry I didn't explain accessing the instructions accurately. You don't need to be a member of the 'Tinker Owners Club' just logged into the group. To do this you just need to sing in to google groups.

It might be easier if you PM me your email and I will download it and send it to you.

I have in the past three days found a good Tinker Star Traveller which I have just bought!

What is a 2001 Tinker Traveller with the sailing rig, (genoa and jib) and manual worth? I have one in great condition.

How small does a Tinker stow? A sailing tender appeals, but I don't have a lot of space.
