Arwen's meanderings

Hi everyone and welcome to my dinghy cruising blog about my John Welsford designed 'navigator' named Arwen. Built over three years, Arwen was launched in August 2007. She is a standing lug yawl 14' 6" in length. This blog records our dinghy cruising voyages together around the coastal waters of SW England.
Arwen has an associated YouTube channel so visit www.YouTube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy to find our most recent cruises and click subscribe.
On this blog you will find posts about dinghy cruising locations, accounts of our voyages, maintenance tips and 'How to's' ranging from rigging standing lug sails and building galley boxes to using 'anchor buddies' and creating 'pilotage notes'. I hope you find something that inspires you to get out on the water in your boat. Drop us a comment and happy sailing.

oh thank heavens!

At long last, after sooooo much aggravation, sweat, blood, toil and tears, we present to you...the insides of 'Stacey'.....stripped down and ready for rebuild. Those waiting for a sailing post, it is still looking good for tomorrow.....yipee!!

Steve

a split and EMPTY engine casing
except for the main crankshaft bearing


how it used to look before it was emptied....which now begs the question.....
can we put it back in the right places, in the right order with the right bits and nothing left at the end?


and how 'Stacey' looked when we first had her....not bad for a 40 year old Scoot?
