Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's career as a yacht designer spanned several decades and encompassed a wide range of vessel types, including auxiliary schooners. This design class—combining sail with auxiliary power—represented a practical development in yacht design, particularly suited to longer-distance cruising and commercial operations. The auxiliary schooner format allowed vessels to maintain sailing capability whilst benefiting from mechanical propulsion in adverse conditions. Design 1117's position within Mylne's broader catalogue reflects the continued demand for such versatile craft during the period in which Mylne was active.
