Historical Context
Alfred Mylne worked extensively with the Gunter rig during his design career, a configuration that gained particular favour among cruising and racing yachtsmen in the early twentieth century. The rig offered advantages in terms of sail plan efficiency and ease of handling, making it suitable for both private yachts and commercial purposes. Design 211 exists within a body of work spanning multiple decades and diverse vessel types. The survival of 14 drawings indicates this design received thorough technical documentation, though archival gaps prevent fuller historical narrative at present.
