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.

out and about around Golant foreshore

An early morning walk around the creeks and little harbours of Golant was just what I needed yesterday. Do you know at high tide the little road actually floods - wow!

The tide races out here in the upper reaches to leave rippling sandbanks and dry out moorings.




the little railway line down to the china clay wharf
Now can you imagine what a fantastic little steam preservation line this would make?


I'm thinking of winning the lottery and then offering the owners of this house a silly price for it


never have my telephoto camera when I need it


all attached via a pulley rope system - clever


More to follow over the next few days
