Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed the period spanning the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a significant era for yacht design innovation. The auxiliary cutter configuration—combining sailing rig with mechanical propulsion—represented an important development in practical cruising yacht design. This hybrid approach offered owners greater operational flexibility compared to purely sailing vessels. The survival of 40 original drawings for Design 177 indicates the design received serious development attention. Tritonia, constructed in 1910, demonstrates that designs from Mylne's office during this period were actively built and entered service. The gaps in available information regarding Design 177 suggest that not all office records have been preserved or catalogued.
