Historical Context

Alfred Mylne was active as a naval architect and yacht designer from the early twentieth century. The 1920s represented a period of significant activity in his office, with designs ranging from racing yachts to cruising vessels and working craft. Design 312 falls within this broader body of work, though the specific context of its commission and the reasoning behind its particular configuration require further documentation. The auxiliary ketch was a popular choice among designers and owners during this period, offering versatility for both cruising and commercial purposes.
