Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) practised as a naval architect and yacht designer throughout the twentieth century, establishing himself as a significant figure in British yacht design. His practice encompassed sailing yachts, motor yachts, and hybrid vessels across a broad range of sizes and purposes. The prevalence of single screw motor yacht designs in Mylne's archive reflects broader trends in early and mid-twentieth-century yacht development, as motor propulsion became increasingly refined and commonplace. Design 1154 sits within this context, though its specific genesis, client brief, and realisation require further documentation.
