Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish yacht designer of considerable reputation, practising from the late nineteenth century into the mid-twentieth century. His design practice produced both racing and cruising vessels of varied type. The auxiliary yawl, combining sail with auxiliary engine power, represented a practical compromise favoured by yacht owners of the interwar and postwar periods. Mylne's designs from this era reflect evolving attitudes towards yacht propulsion and the growing availability of marine engines. Design 128's position in the numbering sequence and its documentary survival suggest it held some significance within Mylne's working archive, though its actual realisation in built form has not been established.
