Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice extended across several decades and encompassed both sailing and motor vessels. Twin screw motor yachts represented a category of private craft that gained prominence as engine reliability and marine diesel technology advanced during the early-to-mid twentieth century. The configuration provided advantages in handling and redundancy. The archive preserves drawings and records in varying states of completeness, reflecting the nature of design office documentation and the passage of time. Design 1163 stands as one of many designs where partial records survive, offering limited but genuine evidence of Mylne's breadth of work.
