Historical Context
The early twentieth century saw continued refinement of small to medium sailing yacht design. The Gunter rig remained a practical choice for working and cruising vessels. Mylne's practice during this period was prolific, encompassing numerous designs across different vessel types and purposes. Design 228 falls within the period of his established practice, prior to the disruption caused by the First World War.
