Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish designer of considerable influence in early twentieth-century yacht design. The period around 1911 was significant in the development of racing and cruising yachts. Design 199 represents one entry in Mylne's substantial output, though the specific context of its commission and the characteristics that distinguished it remain to be documented more fully. The survival of 17 drawings indicates the design was retained in the archive, suggesting either its importance or Mylne's customary practice of keeping design records.
