Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades and encompassed numerous vessel types. The period around 1921, when Gannet was built, coincided with continued interest in auxiliary sailing vessels amongst both private owners and commercial operators. The auxiliary cutter, with its combination of sail plan and mechanical engine, represented a practical evolution in vessel design during this era. Design 272 remains part of the documented output of Mylne's drawing office, though comprehensive biographical and technical details for this particular design are not currently available in archival records.
