Historical Context

Alfred Mylne (1870–1960) was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned more than six decades. His designs ranged from small cruising cutters to large schooners and steam yachts. The early 1900s represented a significant period in Mylne's career, during which he was developing and refining designs across various classes and configurations. The auxiliary cutter type reflected contemporary maritime practice, combining the advantages of sail with mechanical propulsion. This configuration appealed to owners seeking vessels capable of maintaining passage in variable conditions.
