Unnamed Design

Historical Context

Centre board yachts occupied an important place in early twentieth-century yacht design, particularly for vessels intended for British and Northern European waters. The centre board mechanism allowed designers to optimise performance across different sailing conditions whilst reducing draft in shallow waters. Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed a broad range of yacht types, and centre board designs represented one category among his extensive output. The survival of ten drawings for Design 322 indicates the design received sufficient development to warrant detailed documentation, though the absence of builder records or launch details suggests the vessel may not have entered construction, or records of its building have not been preserved.
