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.

ah......rumbled......

ah....rumbled.......yep a little early for April 1st - but I fell about laughing when I read this last night. The previous post is a summary of a little piece that appeared in yachting monthly - an excellent monthly journal we have here in the UK. It's about proper big yachts - not Arwen's size - but I like it - it's informative and gives a fair summary of what's happening in the yachting community and some really informative articles.

this piece was buried in their news item pages - wonderful - a clever little play on a controversial issue for many in the yachting and conservation community!

Well it made me laugh out loud - so i thought I'd share it. Sorry folks!  And well done to those who spotted it - gold stars alround!
