Ben
Design 245 represents a single screw yacht designated Ben, constructed in 1927. The design comprises fifteen original drawings held in the Alfred Mylne archive. As with many vessels from this period, certain details including the builder, client, and technical specifications remain incompletely documented in the available records. This design forms part of Mylne's substantial output during the 1920s.

Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice flourished during the 1920s and 1930s, a period of considerable activity in private yacht design and construction. The classification of Ben as a single screw vessel places it within the contemporary shift towards motor yachting, though Mylne continued to design sailing craft and hybrid designs throughout this decade. The preservation of fifteen drawings suggests a design of some complexity or significance to the office, though the specific circumstances of the commission remain undocumented.
