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

John's new blog

John has started blogging himself. He has obtained a lovely little boat which I think is called 'May'. You can read about 'May' and the adventures she and John have at http://jwboatdesigns.blogspot.com/


The view from 'May' around Auckland area I think: copyright John Welsford


Get over to John's blog - its really interesting; he has a great writing style and there are loads of tips and advice....although he talks about what he is doing to adapt 'May'.....the ideas may well apply to your boat or at the very least give you food for thought.  The great thing about John is he is a creative designer who clearly practices what he advocates............for newbie sailors and builders...this blog is a goldmine!
