Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1870–1960) established himself as a leading yacht designer during a period of significant maritime activity and sporting enthusiasm among the British and European leisure classes. His practice encompassed custom designs for individual patrons, ranging from small cruising vessels to substantial schooners and steam yachts. Design 1065 falls within this broader catalogue of commissions. The early twentieth century marked an era of experimentation in yacht design, with evolving theories regarding hull form, stability, and rig efficiency. Mylne's approach was characterised by careful attention to seaworthiness alongside aesthetic proportions—principles evident across his published works.
