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.

Nice Steve, thanks for posting. Phoenix III was a design I bought before I found the Pathfinder. Nice boat, beautiful drawings and great guidebook. The boat is very clean. I prefer the Pathfinder. Seemed a lot more at ease on the ocean I get over here.

...a comment - he sits quite a long way forward to manage all the lines, slightly longer tiller, shorter extension be better???
