Historical Context
Alfred Mylne designed yachts throughout the early twentieth century, during which the auxiliary ketch was established as a practical cruising configuration. The 1920s saw continued demand for well-found cruising vessels among a clientele for whom ocean voyaging remained both feasible and fashionable. Design 291 dates to this period. The auxiliary ketch offered advantages in sail balance and ease of handling, qualities that made the type durable in Mylne's output. The documentation preserved in the archive—12 drawings in this instance—reflects the standard working practice of yacht design offices of the era.
