Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice flourished in the early years of the twentieth century, a period of significant evolution in yacht design. Design 145, realised as Elvira in 1907, falls within this formative era. The survival of twenty-six drawings indicates Mylne's methodical approach to design documentation and the care with which he preserved his work. The early 1900s represented a transitional moment in sailing yacht design, as traditional forms were being refined and adapted to changing requirements and new construction techniques. Mylne's designs from this period reflect both established practices and emerging innovations in the field.
