Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1963) established himself as one of Scotland's foremost naval architects, operating from Helensburgh on the Clyde. His practice encompassed a wide range of vessel types, from large steam yachts to working craft. The auxiliary ketch, combining sail plan with mechanical propulsion, reflected the maritime practicality of the twentieth century, particularly during periods when reliable auxiliary engines became standard. Mylne's designs adapted to these evolving technologies whilst maintaining refined proportions and seagoing qualities. Design 1103 represents one entry within a catalogue of over 400 designs developed across his career.
