Tideway do go for a premium. The newsletter has them going between £1800 - £3000. It depends on condition (though even ones that require work go for real money) and model. It also has to be a genuine Tideway as there a boats that are called Tideways that are not the genuine article. Is there a Walker plate on the transom and is there a sail number?
This one looks like a Popular with a foredeck added later and the rubbing strake is not an original feature. She does look very tidy, and looks like a newish boat.

mmmmmmm......
are you quite sure this is a Tideway?
If so, it is a very new one......
as it is subtley but deffinitely different to the Tideways that I know!
Could be a Twinkle 12....
could be one of a number of other copies....
but my gut reaction is that it does not look like a Walker Tideway to me...
Might be worth contacting Danny at Tideway Assoc.
Of course just because it is not a 'real' Tideway would not make it that much less valuable....it still looks georgeous.
cheers
eib

Well, there are no plates anywhere or sail numbers. The number on the side appears to be a registration number for the Environmental Agency in 2000/2001. Sails are made by Jeckels and there are a couple of numbers on them which might be traceable but no dates. Looking carefully at the construction, the rubbing strake and foredeck don't look like add ons as the deck is run under the Stem of the boat and looks like it was done when built.
What is a Twinkle? We were told it was a Tideway by the chap who left it at the club. Any other ideas? The workmanship is excellent with laminated bracing knees at the transom and thwart and many other nice touches.

I think that it most probably is either......a new Tideway....by which I mean a tideway built since the demise of Lew Walker....
or one of the copies that are pretty much exact replicas.....but built without any permissions from Tideway association.
The person who could tell us is Danny....and he does sometimes drop into this list. If the topic is still current when I get back from Bristol, I will drop him a line.
I am sure he would like to know about it anyway.

Well Danny confirms it's not a Tideway but is asking others who might know, Mike says it's not a Twinkle so what is it and what is it worth?
All the fittings seem to be bronze, nice pair of oars, good cover, trailer looks sound, airbags are good, there is an anchor but no warp, spare rudder and tiller, boat hook and whisker pole. Those fenders have to be worth a bit!
We may have to put it on ebay if we can't establish a value. Trevor, if you want to make an offer or have a look at the boat, let me know.

Urrr......just to make myself clearer....
when I said the 'demise of Lew Walker' I meant when the company stopped making Tideways....rather than his actual demise...
He is still happily with us!
