Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) established himself as one of Scotland's foremost yacht designers, working from his practice in Glasgow. His output encompassed a broad range of vessel types, from racing yachts to cruising designs and working craft. The early twentieth century witnessed significant evolution in motor yacht design as steam and petrol propulsion became increasingly prevalent. Single screw configurations represented a practical standard for many commercial and private vessels of this era. Mylne's design practice reflected the technological and aesthetic currents of his time, though comprehensive documentation of all designs undertaken by his office has not survived uniformly.
