Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's practice encompassed numerous designs across different yacht types and scales throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Gunter rig, whilst less celebrated than the cutter or sloop configurations, remained a practical choice for cruising and working vessels. Mylne's systematic approach to design documentation—evidenced by the preservation of drawings for designs such as 215—provides valuable records of early-to-mid twentieth-century yacht design practice, even where construction history remains obscure.
