Arwen is a 15' yawl designed by famous New Zealand boat designer, John Welsford. In this video, part one of three, we sail over to Cawsand Bay on our way to an overnight stop on Cellars Beach at the mouth of the river Yealm.
I built Arwen over two and a half years in my garage and she was launched in 2010. Since then we have cruised the rivers and coastal waters of South Devon and Cornwall. You can follow our adventures at Arwen's blog www.arwensmeanderings.blogspot.co.uk or here on her RU-vid channel where you can download videos or themed playlists / plymouthwelshboy .
In episode two we sail across a gusty Plymouth Sound and Wembury bay to anchor just off the little beach where we ground Arwen and then set up the boom tent for the overnight stop. Episode three sees us sailing back to Queen Ann's Battery marina via Drakes island.

If you would like me to address a particular dinghy cruising aspect in a forthcoming video - drop me a line below and if you have any nice, constructive, friendly advice to improve my sailing skills, please do let me know and thank you.
Fair winds, good sailing, stay safe and see you out on the water sometime. Thanks for joining us on this voyage.
Steve and Arwen

You might raise the heel of the main sprit up a foot or so. Right under the first reef cringle should be high enough to make it much more effective at reducing sail twist. I don't know if that will eliminate the difference between tacks though. Enjoying the scenery. My father's ancestors emigrated from that area about 4 centuries ago. Younger sons wanting land...

Very enjoyable Steve -- thanks. And I also enjoyed the narrower aspect ratios -- a happy accident as far as I'm concerned as I'm tired of the "fish-eye" very wide angled pictures most people set up their GoPros to capture.

Thanks Steve. I film in 16.9 linear but my hero 9 has a quirky side and sometimes it switched itself to 4.3aspecy. I have no idea why...but it can be frustrating 🙄🤣

Steve, enjoyed your video, thank you. I would have thought from your video that the reason she sets better on the port tack is because your rig boom is set to be port of the mast. This means the main is free to fill much better, unimpeded by boom end or mast. on the port tack. For some reason, your mizzen appears to be set up the other way around with the offset boom on the stbd side of the mizzen mast; is this deliberate? The Cawsand bathing areas (2 marked on the chart and active May-Sept) do allow a boat channel off Cawsand beach between them to allow what you had planned. Hope to meet you on the waters around here one day :)
@plymouthwelshboy
@plymouthwelshboy Год назад
No that's exactly the issue. The mizzen mast wasn't done deliberately, just happened that way. Thanks for the tip about the boat lane...didn't know that

Steve love your videos, what do you use to keep your oars in place when stowed out the stern during sailing?
@plymouthwelshboy
@plymouthwelshboy Год назад
Thanks Roy. They are held on by elastic bungee loops which hook over the stern cleats. They are also tied on at the rowlocks so in a capsize they stay close to the boat.

Hi Steve......can you tell me what slip you used to launch Arwen in this film. Also availability/possible to park road trailer and park car there for more than a day if camping out on sail? Best regards Andy

Hi Andy. I use QAB marina in Plymouth. U have to pay but you can leave car and trailer there, included in price. Pontoon, hose for wash down , marina cafe etc Alternative, is Mountbatten slip, can park car and trailer in public car park 100m away

I see you fitted a boom instead of the spotter. Does that improve your sail shape
@plymouthwelshboy
@plymouthwelshboy Год назад
The plans showed a sprit boom yawl option which is the one I went for. I'm sorry I don't know what a spotter is. The sprit boom gives good sail shape when set up correctly

5he lines can be run in a loop, so the sail takes the loose und up with it, and not pileing up on deck

@@plymouthwelshboy so say its the halyard the line runs down the mast across the deck to the cleate and then some extra before returning back,,,as the yard is hoisted the free end is pulled along to keep it out of harms way , as the yard is lowered it brings the free end with it to add the line back ... think of a big loop with the sail at one side and a cleat at the other

That looks like a nice day for a sail 🙂 Hot weather and the wind off the land is probably always going to result in gusty winds. I've done the bulk of my sailing inland where gusty, shifty wind is the norm. It keeps you on your toes 🙂 I've never liked your mainsail. I think it's an awful design. IMHO you'd be best served by having it re-cut as either a gaff, gunter or more traditional lug sail - all tried and tested designs. Looking forward to the next episode 🙂
@plymouthwelshboy
@plymouthwelshboy 2 года назад
The issue with the sail is that I went for half battens and.not full ones as per the plans....and I'm a useless sail trimmer.....other navigator owners with same sail plan don't have the issue.....but then they ain't idiots either 🤣
@bevetsg1
@bevetsg1 2 года назад
@@plymouthwelshboy I paused the video at 7:27 and thought about what was seeing. Two thoughts come to mind. One is that your yard needs to be tighter to the mast , the other is your boom is pushing the clew too far aft. Loosen whatever is pushing on the boom and I think the crease will go away.

@paulathomas4944
@paulathomas4944 2 года назад
@@plymouthwelshboy I don't think the batten length is relavent here. The reason you're getting that crease is that the distance between the lower end of the yard and the clew is a lot greater than the sail was cut for. The yard needs somehow be held more vertically to bring its lower end aft. That distance will have be determined by experiment but is probably going to be at least three inches and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it needs to come aft by six inches or more. This has led me to wonder if your main was in fact cut for a gunter rig? I've found a few photos online of Navigators with gunter yawl rigs, some of which have full length battens (a silly idea in my opinion but that's a a differnt topic).

@plymouthwelshboy hi Steve. I agree the mainsail is an issue. Please keep in mind that it is all a work in progress . You built the boat and it is beautiful. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. You out there sailing well. That in itself deserves congratulations.
