Historical Context
The concentration of five vessels in 1929 suggests Design 324 met a particular market demand during the inter-war period. The subsequent steady construction through the 1930s indicates the design's acceptance by yacht owners and builders. The twenty-seven year interval between Gigha (1931) and Canna (1936) warrants note, though the reasons remain unclear from available records. The later construction of Isla in 1958 demonstrates the design's enduring relevance in post-war yacht building. The final recorded build, Shona of Ashton in 2000, places this design among Mylne's longest-lived specifications, spanning seven decades of actual construction.
