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

Day four.....

Day three I hear you say?
I have no idea where it went............

Anyway day four.......some serious successes. They are doing triangular courses and upwind sailing. It has been seriously gusty today.......ten capsizes, one nasty rope burn, but boy did the boys do well.
And so much laughter too. Good fun under challenging conditions. I'm very proud of my six boys!

Well done Mountbatten water sports centre....what a talented bunch of instructors you are. Thank you!
