Historical Context
The International Metre Class emerged as a significant racing category in the early 1900s, governed by the International Metre Rule. Alfred Mylne, established as a leading Scottish yacht designer, produced numerous designs across the Metre Classes during this period. Design 169 and the resulting yacht Apache date to 1909, a year of considerable activity in Mylne's design practice. The class represented a sophisticated category of racing yacht, requiring careful adherence to measurement rules whilst maximizing competitive performance. Mylne's involvement with the Metre Classes extended across multiple designs and demonstrated his understanding of both the technical and competitive aspects of this specialised racing category.
