Historical Context
Alfred Mylne designed yachts across numerous categories throughout his career. The auxiliary cutter represented an important yacht type during the period when motor auxiliaries became standard in yacht design. This transition from pure sailing vessels to motor-assisted designs occurred gradually during the early twentieth century, reflecting both technological advancement and changing requirements among yacht owners. Mylne's design practice encompassed vessels ranging from small cruising yachts to larger ocean-going craft, each addressing specific client needs and contemporary maritime conditions.
