Historical Context
Alfred Mylne designed yachts throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, working across a range of vessel types and sizes. The auxiliary schooner, combining sail power with mechanical propulsion, represented a practical evolution in yacht design during this period. Mylne's practice encompassed both large ocean-going vessels and smaller cruising yachts. Design 1123 reflects the continued interest in schooner-rigged yachts, which offered excellent seakeeping qualities and cargo capacity. The preservation of a single drawing in the archive provides evidence of the design's conception, though its construction history and ultimate fate remain undocumented.
