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 a John Welsford navigator, oar building part 4

Sssh!

Trying to find somewhere to hide the receipts from 'Her Indoors'!





The smell and crumpling sound of that lightly oiled brown paper.....a joy to my ears.
And there is a spare blade as well.  



Look at the teeth on this bad boy - awesome! 

New Jigsaw with extra new blades and the Japanese pull saw should see off most eventualities on this oar building adventure
