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

Overseas friends

One of the amazing things about the Internet is that you sometimes end up making overseas friends; people who you have never met but who share common interests. Wayne is one such person. He has a great navigator and blog. He is a great craftsman and sailor; a cool dad as well with a lovely family.  And what's more he is one of life's kind people. He took the trouble to post photos of how he set up his mizzen sheet and posted them on his blog at http://donumvitae.wordpress.com/ 
And all in response to some musings I'd made. 

I am lucky to be able to call on good people like Wayne and Joel. 
Wayne thanks for helping me out ......really appreciated

Steve
