Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1961) was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice encompassed a wide range of sailing and motor vessels. His designs were built by various British and international yards and achieved recognition in both cruising and racing circles. The yawl rig, employed in this design, was well-established in yacht design by the early twentieth century, offering two-masted efficiency with the smaller mizzen mast stepped abaft the rudder head. Archival records of design practices from this era are often incomplete. Design 17 survives as a proposal with limited supporting documentation, reflecting the survival patterns of naval architecture records.
