I don't know if this has all been covered ad absurdiam before I got here, but I just finished re-reading GN (Godine finally finished their run) and was wondering if AR had a specific "real" inspiration for Sea Bear. She sure feels like a Colin Archer to me --a solid, beamy double-ended cutter-- but Archer's is the only name I know to attach to such a design. I really don't know the boats of the area/era. Any thoughts?
