Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice extended across several decades, establishing him as a significant figure in Scottish yacht design. The early 1910s represented a period of sustained output, during which he produced designs for both sailing and motor vessels. Design 195 and the vessel Octavia occupy a place within this broader body of work, though specific contextual information regarding the design's genesis, the client's requirements, or the vessel's subsequent service history is not presently documented in the available archive materials.
