Historical Context

Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned a period of significant change in small craft design and marine propulsion. During the early to mid-twentieth century, the transition from sail to motor propulsion, or hybrid arrangements, represented a fundamental shift in yacht design philosophy. Single screw motor yachts became an established category as owners sought reliable mechanical propulsion. The Mylne office produced designs across a range of vessel types and scales. Without dated records, the precise position of Design 140 within this evolution cannot be determined. Archive materials for many designs from this era contain incomplete information, reflecting both the passage of time and variations in record-keeping practice.
