Wow, is that in SAIL already? Cool. Thanks, Dan.

The Ketch Autant was a classic beauty I found forlorn and for sale on the
Miami River around 1975. Designed by William Hand and built in 1927 of
double diagonal strip planking, her hull was over 2″ thick and very strong.
Her stout gaff main and mizzen and self-tending jib allowed for fairly easy
handling by a lone sailor, which was just as well because Autant had no
engine in her. She also had no electrical system, no plumbing, no winches,
or other modern conveniences. She was all kerosene lamps, block-&-tackle,
and muscle. A simple sailboat with character, she measured 36′ on deck;
about 42′ overall. I lived aboard and cruised the Florida Keys and the
Bahamas with her for 2-1/2 years.
