Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish yacht designer of considerable prominence in the early to mid-twentieth century. His practice produced designs across various vessel types and sizes, from racing yachts to cruising auxiliaries. Design 117 belongs to this broader body of work, though its specific context within Mylne's oeuvre—whether it represented an experimental direction, a client commission of particular note, or a development of earlier designs—cannot be determined from the available documentation. The naming of the design after Britomart, a figure from Edmund Spenser's allegorical poem, suggests a commission from a client of some literary or cultural inclination, though this remains speculative without supporting evidence.
