Have you ever seen his cousin the cricketer Martin Crowe? I saw an interview they gave together and just thought 'There! That's more like what Jack Aubrey looks like!' RC is no dainty little thing but Martin seemed both broader and taller, properly blonde and ruddy faced, positively leonine. He made RC look.... hmm, difficult to find the right words without sounding like I'm dissing RC when I don't mean to do that - but the lesser star than his cousin, overshadowed and also more finely featured. If they were both ship's captains and you could only follow one in to battle I would be more drawn to following Martin - and I never thought I'd say that!
