Historical Context
The 1920s marked a period of renewed activity in private yacht design following the First World War. The auxiliary cutter configuration, offering both sailing and auxiliary power, gained favour amongst owners seeking versatility. Alfred Mylne, an established Scottish naval architect, continued his practice throughout this decade, producing designs across various vessel types. Design 295 and its realisation in Moyana II form part of the broader body of work that defined Mylne's professional output during the inter-war years.
