Arwen is a 14'6" yawl designed by famous New Zealand boat designer, John Welsford. In this video - part two - I'm heading off on a search for dolphin and whales off Plymouth Sound and trying to eliminate the ever present throat to clew crease in my mainsail once and for all.
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 .
Drop us a comment, subscribe to our channel and blog, click the notification bell and stay in touch. We would love to hear from you. My thanks to all those who have helped me remove the crease - particularly John, Joel, Tim, Kurt, Jim, Matt, Martyn and Frank.
Meanwhile if you would like me to address a particular dinghy cruising aspect, from my beginner's perspective, in a forthcoming video - then drop me a line below and if you have any nice, constructive, friendly advice to improve my and others sailing skills, please do let me know and thank you.
