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.

I've been missing out.....

In a previous life, my passion was mountaineering. For me time spent in my beloved Snowdonia, over the glyders, up trefan or crawling across crib goch, well it was dreamlike. Graduating to alpine mountaineering at Chamonix was another level.
Now I sail and I love it, but deep down despite my shot to pieces kneecaps, a little bit of me would love to combine the two..........

So I'm thinking i might take Arwen North next summer...........and combine sailing with my previous passion ice climbing..........enjoy!
