Historical Context

Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades of significant change in yacht design and construction. The early 1920s, when Gripen was built, represented a period of post-war renewal in British yacht building. Design 299 falls within Mylne's documented catalogue, though the specific circumstances of its commission and the professional relationship with its client are not recorded in the available archive materials. The survival of seven original drawings indicates this was a properly documented commission within Mylne's office practice.
