Historical Context

Alfred Mylne was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned several decades. Design 347 dates to the interwar period, a significant era in yacht design when motor vessels and sailing yachts coexisted in the market. The year 1932 places Froya's construction during the Great Depression, a period when yacht building remained active primarily among established yards and wealthy clients. Mylne's designs from this period reflect evolving approaches to hull form, rig configuration, and the integration of auxiliary power in sailing vessels.
