Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1963) was a Scottish naval architect renowned for his sailing yacht designs. The auxiliary ketch, a two-masted vessel with auxiliary engine, became an increasingly practical configuration during the twentieth century as motorisation complemented traditional sail. Mylne's design practice encompassed both pure sailing yachts and those equipped with engines, reflecting evolving client preferences and technological developments. Design 1086 sits within this context, though insufficient documentation prevents detailed analysis of its specific technical characteristics or market positioning at the time of its conception.
