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

Welsh for magical Sea Goddess....or thereabouts..........

On the driveway, safely stowed and ready to be covered over

another scrape - I hit the concrete brick gate pillar as I pulled her off the drive this morning....first time it has ever happened in eight years.......still can't explain what went wrong...........

time for a new winch me thinks

everything secure if not shipshape

now is this not the best ever flag in the world with the best ever dragon you have ever seen.....

tucked up, ready for bed and the foul weather about to descend upon us! Again!!
