Historical Context

Alfred Mylne practised yacht design during a period when Gunter-rigged small craft remained popular for coastal and inshore work. The Gunter configuration offered simplicity in handling and efficient windward performance relative to its size. Mylne's design output encompassed numerous small cruising and day-sailing yachts alongside his larger ocean-going commissions. The survival of five drawings for Design 34 reflects the standard level of documentation Mylne maintained for designs intended for construction.
