Historical Context
The auxiliary yawl emerged as a practical evolution in yacht design during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The configuration combined sailing capability with mechanical propulsion, addressing the needs of owners who valued traditional sailing performance but required reliable power for calm conditions. Alfred Mylne, working in this period, contributed significantly to Scottish yacht design. The survival of a single drawing for Design 1105 reflects the selective preservation of naval architectural records from this era. Many designs were never formally archived, while others were lost entirely. The designation of this vessel as an auxiliary yawl aligns with contemporary maritime practice, though detailed specifications remain undocumented.
