Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice flourished in the early twentieth century. Design 116 falls within the period of his most active work. The twenty-six drawings associated with Zoraya reflect the level of detail and consideration Mylne applied to his designs. The year 1905 places this design within the broader context of Edwardian-era yacht design, a period of significant development in both racing and cruising vessel types.
