Historical Context

Alfred Mylne (1881–1963) was a Scottish naval architect and yacht designer of considerable reputation. His practice extended across several decades and encompassed a wide range of vessel types and sizes. The ketch rig—a two-masted sailing configuration with the main mast forward and a smaller mizzenmast aft—was a practical and popular choice for cruising and working vessels throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Mylne's archive preserves the technical records of his designs, though not all documentation survives uniformly. Design 30 contributes to the historical record of his design output, even where specific commissioning and construction details remain undocumented.
