Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) was a Scottish yacht designer of considerable reputation, working through the first half of the twentieth century. His practice encompassed a wide range of vessel types and sizes. Design 153 appears within the corpus of his work, though the specific period of conception and the circumstances of commission are not recorded in the available archive notes. The survival of nineteen drawings indicates that this was a fully developed design proposal. Without additional documentation, the historical context of this particular design—whether it responded to a specific racing class, private commission, or design competition—cannot be established from the information held.
