Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1870–1960) was a distinguished Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned from the 1890s through the mid-twentieth century. His work encompassed racing yachts, cruising vessels, and motor yachts across a broad range of sizes and purposes. The period in which Design 1148 was conceived—the specific date remains unrecorded—fell within an era of significant transition in yacht design, as motor propulsion became increasingly prevalent alongside traditional sail. Twin screw motor yachts represented a particular class favoured by owners seeking enhanced manoeuvrability and reliability in powered vessels. The survival of a single drawing in the Mylne archive underscores both the prolific nature of his practice and the fragmentary nature of historical design records.
