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

dinghy cruising in a welsford 'navigator': The slow passage to the river Yealm and back again Part two

Passage planning..............

Has the RYA Day Skipper theory course made any difference to Arwen's skipper's sailing skills?


Part three due out some time next week - in which Arwen and her skipper battle light winds. Will they ever reach the River Yealm? Did Arwen's skipper's passage planning skills work out?  Did attending the RYA Day Skipper theory course make any difference to him at all? Is Arwen resigned to a life of  inadequate sailing due to her Skipper's incompetency......look out for next week's episode............
