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

This is an amazing work of art and dedication to the brave crews who voluntarily man our waters and come to us in our times of need and danger. Well done to Jack Lowe for such an imaginative tribute and archive.

Spotted it on Gavin Atkin's 'intheboatshed' website which is in itself an amazing archive of our seafaring history and close affection with boats and the sea.

Both sites well worth a visit and bookmark.
