With reference to Joshua Slocum, I had not realised the AR connection.
At present I am helping to restore a wooden 57ft gaff-rigged ketch called Galatea. she was originally built in the late 40s based on the Spray.
She was built in New England, and had a pretty chequered career until found by Aquarian Quest, which is restoring her so young people can get a taste of sailing, and be used as a floating classroom for eviromental studies of the Gulf of Mexico.
