Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish naval architect and yacht designer whose practice spanned several decades during the twentieth century. Design 317 dates to a period of considerable activity in private yacht design. The year 1928, in which Vengla was built, fell during the inter-war period when yacht design and construction remained economically viable despite the broader economic circumstances. The preservation of thirteen drawings for this single design indicates the level of detail typically maintained in Mylne's office practice. Original design documentation of this kind provides valuable evidence of design methodology and technical standards employed during the period.
