Broker's Comments

Built in a mixture of teak and Mahogany on Oak with a laminate mahogany stem this is a lovely wooden yacht that has been sailed regularly and appears to have been nicely looked after. There is a full suit of sails, crisp and white, new in 2016. The woodwork, inside and out, looks pretty good to me. Compared with your usual GRP offering, wooden boats have a completely different feel about them. If you wouldn't consider owning one then she's obviously not for you, but if you would - then she's well worth a look.

Hi, Thank you for your comment the boat was SOLD last year to a new owner.

Poor old Tinkatoo. I owned her for eleven years and reluctantly had to sell her as I could not afford to complete the rolling restoration. Guy Biern (to whom I had to sell her) appears to have put new sails on her and I know that she competed in the Panerai Classics and the "Round the Island" race. The deck needs to go!! Teak on ply is the worst possible combination, hiding all the leaks. Besides this, the teak "planking" is only 1/2" (less than that in places.) My solution would be to lay a solid iroko deck, replacing the beam just fwd of the forehatch, which has some rot. Cost of materials, £4000, plus £11,000 labour. I know this because I have recently laid a semi-swept deck on the Brooke Marine "Ocean Bandit." Secondly, her garboards are shot. This happened over a number of years (probably during Paul Heiney's ownership, or perhaps before.) A Rummer Yawl has fourteen keel bolts. Eight in pairs down the centre line, three beneath the engine and three beneath the mast step. Although the eight along the centre line had been replaced by stainless objects that had started to pit within a few years, the six bolts at the extremities had never been replaced. I replaced the lot around 2007 but the damage to the caulking seams on the teak garboards had already been done. As the long, fairly fine keel had started to flex in it's weakened condition, the garboard seams had become parallel and thus could not be properly caulked. Our temporary solution was to rout a slot and glue in a new iroko seam, which was then caulked up tight. This seemed to help, but certainly didn't cure matters. There is also a leak at the fwd end of the keel that I never did get to the bottom of. We need to see what's going on beneath that garboard. The old BMC is a wonderful old beast upon I lavished much care, completely sorting out the fuel delivery, but she smokes like the devil when starting and really needs a rebore, regrind, new shells, valves and guides. So, 6k to replace the garboards with teak (much cheaper with iroko) and another 2.5k on the engine, including haul out/in. That makes a grand total of £19,500 to make Tinkatoo REALLY seaworthy. As I now have my own boatbuilding business (Summer Boats) in partnership with a master shipwright, I am in a position to carry out this work. Last time I heard, Guy had reduced his asking price to £15,000. I would be prepared to take her on for about £4,000 because, when all's said and done, she is a superb sailboat, especially when used as a sloop, which was her original rig (the only Rummer rigged thus.) The wooden mizzen was added around 1968! I look forward to your reply. Andrew Osborn
