Historical Context

Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed a broad range of vessel types during the early twentieth century. The prevalence of single screw motor yachts in Mylne's portfolio reflects the transition in yacht propulsion during this period, as motor power increasingly supplemented or replaced traditional sail. The year 1913 positions this design within the Edwardian era of yacht design, prior to the First World War. The limited archival information available for Design 232 is consistent with gaps that exist across various Mylne commissions, particularly where client confidentiality or incomplete record-keeping has resulted in fragmentary documentation.
