Historical Context
The 1920s and 1930s represented a significant period for auxiliary sailing yacht design in Britain. The addition of auxiliary power to schooners offered practical advantages for cruising and commercial work whilst preserving the sailing qualities that defined the type. Mylne was active in this market during a period when such vessels remained relevant for both private ownership and professional use. Design 314's documentation through 80 drawings reflects the complexity of schooner design and the careful iteration required to achieve functional hulls suitable for their intended purposes.
