Historical Context
Alfred Mylne practised as a naval architect during a period when auxiliary power was becoming increasingly integrated into sailing yacht design. The auxiliary schooner type represented a practical compromise between traditional sail capability and the benefits of mechanical propulsion. Mylne's design practice encompassed a variety of vessel types and sizes, responding to client requirements and maritime developments of his era. Design 1090 survives in archival form, contributing to the documented record of his design output, though the circumstances of its commission and execution remain incomplete.
