- A welshman displaced to wonderful Plymouth in SW England; a novice sailor, motorhomer and boat builder with a passion for all things to do with the sea. Follow my journey as I learn to sail Arwen, grappling with charts, tide tables and passage planning so that I can become 'a dinghy cruiser' And by the way, just occasionally, little snippets about our travels and adventures. Subscribe on this blog and at www.youtube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy for videos about dinghy cruising. I look forward to hearing your comments, tips and thoughts.

Everything looks ready for a great day Steve! And I see Arwen in a very good shape.
Thanks Enrico - blogs and videos to follow
Take care
Steve, I see oars but I can't imagine where one sits to row. I assume you did the centerboard option, so is there enough room for you butt/back when rowing? Any mods to support?
TM, i remove the steering compass on the centreboard top, and put a big cushion on it. Then there is sufficient room to get rowing. Navigator was never designed for rowing long distances, so i tend to row short distances; if longer, then I motor. Many in the UK dinghy cruising association success a yuloh oar off the back of the transom - but with mizzen mast, boomkin, rudder head and motor - it already feels crowded!!
