Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice extended across several decades of the twentieth century, encompassing a wide range of sailing vessels. The 1920s were a productive period for yacht design, reflecting sustained interest in cruising and racing vessels among commissioned owners. Design 287 and its realisation as Gometra belong to this context. The preservation of six drawings from this design within the archive provides material evidence of Mylne's design process and output, though the historical record for individual vessels is often incomplete, particularly regarding ownership, operational history, and later modifications.
