Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades during which the auxiliary yawl remained a favoured configuration. The 1930s, when Skerryvore was built, marked a period of refinement in yacht design as electric and diesel propulsion became more reliable. Mylne's designs from this era reflect evolving preferences for vessels combining sailing qualities with mechanical assistance. The yawl rig, with its mizzen mast stepped abaft the rudder post, offered practical advantages for cruising and professional work. Details of Skerryvore's subsequent history, performance record, or current status are not contained within the available design archive data.
