Historical Context
Alfred Mylne practised naval architecture from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century, establishing himself as a designer of distinction for sailing and motor yachts of substantial quality. His designs encompassed a broad range of types and sizes, from small cruising vessels to larger ocean-going yachts. The auxiliary ketch, combining sail with mechanical propulsion, became an increasingly practical choice during this period as engine technology matured. Mylne's approach to such designs reflected contemporary thinking about seaworthiness, comfort, and the emerging balance between traditional sail and mechanical reliability.
