Historical Context

The 1920s represented a significant period for Alfred Mylne's design practice. During this decade, Mylne produced designs across various yacht classes and types, from small cruising vessels to larger racing yachts. The auxiliary yawl was a popular configuration among yacht designers of the period, offering owners flexibility in both sailing and motoring. Design 298 and the resulting Vadura exemplify the professional standards and design thinking of British yacht architecture in this era, though detailed information about the vessel's career and legacy remains limited in the current archival record.
