Alfred Mylne (1870–1960) was a prominent naval architect based in Glasgow, practising during a period of significant development in yacht design. Single screw motor vessels represented an established category during the early-to-mid twentieth century, reflecting the growing adoption of mechanical propulsion alongside traditional sailing craft. Design 1171 forms part of the broader body of work encompassed within Mylne's design archive, which documents his commissions across several decades.
