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.

Some boats I've been collecting........

photographic wise as I potter about.....along with some photos taken during Monday's sail

At the Captain Jasper's steps, local inshore fishing boats in the Barbican

Something I hate to see.....old boats rotting away on the banks of the Plym

here for the Classic Boat Rally.......the genuine thing

in amazing condition, so well looked after

one of her winches...probably costing a pretty penny

the boat in question....the one and only; the original.......

another possible entrant for the boat rally and a pretty thing too

wow....and I thought Arwen could look cluttered

all this lovely rigging

now that is a bowsprit

waiting out in the sound before entering the cattedown

this was a lovely old boat as well

I found this one lurking in Cawsand Bay....another classic boat rally entrant

and two from Arwen just to finish the post
