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

sorry for the lack of posts


all lined up ready to go

....it's the end of term....and it's been a long term! However, this week has been activities week and we have been doing watersports at our local centre - canoeing, sailing, kayaking and bizarrely abseiling and rock climbing.


sailing Hawk 20's

We break up next week and on the cards are
a) a sail up the Tamar to Calstock with an overnight onboard camp
b) the Plymouth regatta week, which I will post on
c) the classic boat rally which I will be sailing amongst
d) a sail expedition down to Fowey and back


and here is the boat that deliberately cut up one of our Hawks - clearing it by less than a boat length!

....so there is still plenty to come.......
