Design No. 1097
Memory
Design 1097 represents an auxiliary ketch conceived by Alfred Mylne. Originally named Memory, this design survives in the archive as a single drawing. The ketch configuration—a two-masted sailing vessel with the mainmast taller than the mizzenmast—was a practical choice for cruising and working vessels of the period. Specific details regarding dimensions, build history, and current status remain incomplete in the available records.

Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades, producing cruising yachts and working vessels suited to Scottish and Northern European waters. The auxiliary ketch was a favoured type during much of the twentieth century, particularly for long-distance cruising. The configuration allowed owners to navigate coastal and offshore waters under sail, whilst the auxiliary engine provided security in calms or difficult approaches to port. Design 1097 falls within Mylne's body of work, though the specific circumstances of its conception—whether commissioned by a client, designed for a builder, or created speculatively—are not documented in the current archive record.
