Historical Context
Alfred Mylne practised as a naval architect in Glasgow throughout the early twentieth century, producing designs across a range of vessel types and sizes. The 1920s represented a significant period in his career, with commissions spanning motor yachts, sailing vessels, and commercial craft. Design 284 belongs to this productive phase. The designation of Design 284 as a single screw vessel indicates a motor-driven craft, consistent with the growing adoption of mechanical propulsion in yacht design during the post-war period. The survival of eight drawings suggests a design of moderate complexity, though details of the vessel's dimensions and final configuration remain undocumented in the accessible records.
