	The Ships of Jack Aubrey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Although the activities of the Sophie and her dimensions and armament were modeled closely on those of real-life HMS Speedy, commanded by Thomas, Lord Cochrane, the quarterdeck - unusual for a small sloop - was taken from HMS Vincejo, captured from the Spanish navy in 1799.
		The poor sailing qualities of Polychrest and perhaps the notion of a new secret weapon were likely taken from HMS Project, a much smaller vessel than the Dart (and Polychrest) with a very shallow draft to carry a new design of howitzer into coastal waters.
		Through the intervention of Stephen Maturin at the Admiralty in H.M.S. Surprise, Jack Aubrey is given the small frigate HMS Surprise of 28 guns, aboard which he had served years before as a midshipman.

	Post Captain, by Patrick O'Brian (2nd Page)
		My already-dim memory of what I read a few days ago seems to indicate that the Polychrest was equipped only with carronades, and that Jack had two of them moved to the bow when he needed a chaser.
		If this is correct, then it provides a possible answer to the mystery: The scene is the Polychrest's extended pursuit of the privateer Bellone, which ended in Jack's being thanked and rewarded by representatives of the merchant fleet, and chewed out by that grasping, infernal scrub Harte.
		Jack Aubrey of course is by the custom of the servicisolated from his officers aboard the cursed Polychrest; at dinner no officer may initiate conversation and their replies to the captain's words are confined to bland agreement.

		"HMS Jumblie, she belonged to Clonfert for a time".
		No, Stephen, it is this voyage ahead of us: A vessel which makes the sorry Polychrest seem a royal yacht, young Critchley who it has to be said is not quite exactly quite the thing, and at the end of it all this monstrous Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo who must be a whiggish sort of fellow.
		I only find comfort in the notion that there is naught left to yet go all a-tanto," Jack concluded as the sun slipped behind a dark cloud, a fl cat walked under a ladder, and the loblolly boy dropped a mirror shattering it into a thousand splinters.

	Smithsonian Seminar on Patrick O'Brian - Notes
		Lissun Kathryn Guare had the opportunity to speak briefly with him, and he explained that he had used the Dart and Arrow as his models for the Polychrest, which he said were most likely the actual ships that O'Brian had in mind when he wrote about the Polychrest.
		Ringle said that the books never explored the idea of what it really felt like to be working way up there, dangling over a yard with nothing beneath your feet but a precarious line that bucked and wobbled as the weight of other sailors was added or removed.
		The full transcript of his remarks can be found on the HMS Surprise web site.

		But there are moments of heart-stopping agony in HMS Surprise, and in The Hundred Days as well.

		If you wanted to go symbolic, you could see the Polychrest with all her leeway, as a picture of the friendship between Jack and Stephen, but the Polychrest can never come to anything, whereas the friendship has been a fine thing.
		He relates how Jack is getting on with the frightful Polychrest and her difficult crew, and has lost weight, which is good for him.
		At the end of the chapter, after his desperate attempt to refloat the unworthy Polychrest, he watches her sink from the Fanciulla, as the blood collects at his feet from his head wound.

	The Writings of Miss Izzy:Aubrey/Maturin Fanfiction
		Possibly rated R. May be considered to take place in the same universe as “Spanish Air.” Takes place towards the end of HMS Surprise, after Stephen is shot, with lots of spoilers.
		Stephen had taken him there, touching him everywhere in the process, and Jack had almost cried to feel those hands, once so strong and secure in their grip on him, fumble and flinch with pain.
		The concern for discretion that had limited their encounters on the Polychrest even before jealousies over Diana had torn them apart had somehow lessened, given way to need, and though they had been still careful, they had come together in this manner quite often.

		I have a lot of sympathy for Jack, most of the time, and I understand that he's pretty conflicted at the moment, but he may just have broken Stephen's heart, so I'm not feeling terribly sorry for him just now.
		Believe me, I felt the same way towards Diana at the end of HMS Surprise.
