Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice extended across the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His work encompassed a broad range of vessel types, from traditional sailing yachts to modern motor-powered designs. The transition from sail to motor propulsion represented a significant evolution in yacht design during this period, requiring new considerations of hull form, stability, and accommodation. Single screw motor yachts occupied a particular niche within this transition, offering the reliability of mechanical propulsion whilst maintaining efficient hull characteristics. Design 115's position within Mylne's overall catalogue reflects the commercial and technical pressures of the era, when experienced designers had to adapt their practices to changing client requirements and technological capabilities.
