Design No. 20
Bella
Design 20 represents one of Alfred Mylne's early proposals, originally conceived for a yacht named Bella. The design is documented through seven drawings held in the archive. While details of the vessel's construction, specifications, and subsequent history remain incomplete in the current record, the design's preservation forms part of the comprehensive documentation of Mylne's yacht design practice.

Historical Context
Alfred Mylne practised as a yacht designer and naval architect during a period of significant development in small and medium-sized yacht design. His practice, based in Scotland, produced numerous designs across different yacht types and sizes. Design 20, catalogued as Bella, belongs to this broader body of work. Without confirmed dates or construction records, the design's precise chronological position within Mylne's career cannot be established. The preservation of seven drawings suggests this was a formal commission rather than a preliminary sketch, indicating a client's serious intent to build.
