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.

A new year resolution

One of the things I'd like to do this year is sketching. My mum has a talent at sketching and I'm hoping I may have inherited some of it. So I was delighted to read Gavin's 'intheboatshed' blog about a maritime artist Claudia Myatt. Now I know that she did a talk at one of the boat shows recently but actually her top tips page is wonderful as is her at work.

So visit her site at http://www.claudiamyatt.co.uk/2013/01/ketches-and-sketches/
I think you will like what you see. 

Below is just a taster of some of her work with all copyright 
obviously attributed to her.
