Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed numerous yacht types, from large ocean-going vessels to smaller cruising craft. The Gunter class, characterised by its distinctive fore-and-aft sail plan, held particular appeal during the early twentieth century. Design 302 and its realisation in Fiona fall within the inter-war period, when yacht design in Britain experienced considerable innovation. The preservation of 31 drawings for this single design underscores the detailed nature of Mylne's design process. However, the current archival record lacks sufficient detail to establish the precise circumstances of the commission or the subsequent history of the completed yacht.
