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.

Joel is putting me to shame

He's made adaptations to 'Ellie' and whipped his ropes AND he's been out sailing with his newly adjusted sail rig. Cool video as always as well.

The man is just shaming me into action
Nice post Joel. Glad to see 'Ellie' on the water for first time this year.

We just got lucky one weekend. It's back to wind and rain now *sigh*. Don't worry my friend, sailing season will begin very soon. We're looking forward to reading about your adventures aboard Arwen. I've got some new ones planned for this summer. I hope we both have great ones!
