Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed a wide range of vessel types, from large sailing yachts to motor craft and commercial ships. During the early twentieth century, the transition from sail to mechanical propulsion was reshaping yacht design. Single screw configurations became standard for motor vessels of moderate size. Mylne's archive contains numerous designs from this transitional period, though comprehensive records do not survive for all commissions. Design 1170 exists within this broader context, though specific historical circumstances surrounding its creation and any subsequent construction remain unclear.
