About Me

- 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.

No boat found at this address. Probably sold?
I suspect so - they are good boats
Are you interested in buying a navigator in the UK?
Hello Steve, I have been looking through your 'very extensive' blog and also watched some of your dinghy sailing videos. They're great! I wondered if you had any advice for as to where I might be able to keep my laser dinghy whilst crusing around the Salcombe Estuary, Kingsbridge etc? I am at present keeping her on Mill Bay beach but my time runs out there in a week an a half. Any thoughts, or may I e mail you somehow? All the best, Simon Owens.
I was worried you were selling your boat!
jeremy - selling arwen - not yet :)
Simon, sorry about late pick up of this one - have been away travelling. I am afraid I have no idea on where else you could keep it in that area - I dont know the facilities over there that well - sorry!
