Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a period of significant change in yacht design and construction. The early 1920s saw growing interest in motor-powered vessels, both as an alternative to sailing craft and as a supplement to traditional sail. Design 137, produced in this era, reflects the transitional nature of yacht design during the interwar years. Motor yachts offered owners increased reliability and independence from weather conditions, though many retained elements of traditional yacht aesthetics. Mylne's involvement in single screw motor yacht design demonstrates the breadth of his professional practice.
