Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Design 201, resulting in Kestrel (1911), falls within a period of considerable activity and experimentation in yacht design. The early 1910s represented a transitional moment in sailing yacht development, with designers responding to evolving racing rules, construction techniques, and client preferences. Mylne's prolific output during this era demonstrates the demand for custom yacht design amongst the maritime community of the period.
