Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades of significant development in yacht design. The 1920s represented a period of considerable activity, with designs produced for private clients and various building programmes. Design 308 falls within this era of the practice. The construction of Gometra in 1925 occurs at a time of renewed interest in sailing yacht design following the First World War. The preservation of the original drawing set provides insight into Mylne's design methodology and the technical standards maintained by his office during this period.
