Historical Context
The early 1910s represented a transitional period in yacht design, with auxiliary power becoming established rather than exceptional. Mylne's practice was producing designs across a range of vessel types during this decade. The construction of six vessels to Design 193 within three years indicates sustained demand for the auxiliary yawl type among Mylne's clientele. This period preceded the disruptions of the First World War, which significantly affected yacht construction and design practice across Britain.
