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

Why do I offer up this website to you?
well firstly, if you haven't come across this website - you will love it. Gavin keeps a fantastic blog about all things old and nautical, a mine of maritime information.

Secondly, here is a great report about Will Stirling and his voyage from Start Point to Jersey across the channel in a 14' dinghy. Yes you read right....14'; 39.5 hrs at sea - distance of 90 nm. Read and marvel at their adventure.
