Any initials.... R D I know a Robert Driscoll who went around the world in a large sail boat called the Sea Witch. It is now berthed in Titusville FL. He's spent lots of time up and down the east coast. He's owned it for 31 years. ..... maybe.... TTC

I don't think the an is part of Evans as in the maker,it is scratched in by hand,like the Sea Witch part.
