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

The 2014 Southampton boat show

My friend and I thought we'd pop across to the Southampton boat show today. Pop across!! Three hours each way by car but actually worth it. We had a great few hours looking around. Here are a few photos to get a flavour. We then dashed back as I had school work to complete for tomorrow.
Anyway, here is a flavour. Enjoy.

Beautiful woodworks. Gave me an idea to protect the aluminum with some rope against chafe. Thanks for the post Steve.
