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.
Steve and Arwen

ACWS update

It is hard being in school when you know that ACWS is going on 3 miles away!!

Here are some photographs from Wednesday and today - all copyright Gilles Martin-Raget/ACEA





I'm trying to find out what happened here


nice to see that the crowds are still turning up even on a week day





Here are some video updates about the sailing too





Weather wise, it looks like the nice little high pressure lull is coming to an end - blustery and heavy showers for Saturday and Sunday....so I suspect going out in Arwen may not be an option for weekend viewing of the races

The weather forecast can be checked here

I'm still trying to work out the race course from last weekend and will try and update tomorrow what the course was and what the new match racing course is for the weekend.
