Historical Context

Alfred Mylne was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Design 168 falls within a period of significant activity in his office. The construction of Culwulla II in 1909 places the design within the Edwardian era of yacht design, a period marked by evolving standards in hull form, rigging, and construction methods. The survival of twelve drawings in the archive reflects Mylne's professional practice of maintaining comprehensive design documentation, though the archival record for this particular design remains incomplete regarding provenance, dimensions, and construction details.
