Historical Context

Alfred Mylne was a Scottish naval architect whose practice extended from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. His work encompassed an extensive range of yacht types, reflecting the diversity of requirements within both racing and cruising communities of the era. The Gunter rig, though less common than Bermudian or gaff configurations in Mylne's larger designs, remained a practical choice for certain vessel categories, particularly smaller cruising yachts and day boats where its efficiency and handling characteristics offered advantages.
