Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice flourished during a period of considerable activity in British yacht design. The early 1910s saw sustained demand for sailing yachts among private clients, with designs ranging from small cruising vessels to larger racing yachts. The year 1913, when Crysanthe was built, represented the final years before the First World War disrupted civilian yacht building and design activity. Mylne's archive, which survives largely intact, documents the evolution of his design methodology across six decades of professional practice.
