Historical Context

Alfred Mylne's practice spanned several decades and produced designs across a range of yacht types. The auxiliary ketch configuration—combining sail with auxiliary power—became increasingly popular during the twentieth century for both cruising and commercial purposes. Design 100's place within Mylne's broader catalogue remains to be fully contextualised within his design evolution and the broader trends of yacht design during his working lifetime.
