Historical Context
The auxiliary cutter emerged as a practical type during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, combining the seaworthiness of traditional sailing cutters with the reliability of internal combustion engines. Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed numerous working vessels, fishing boats, and cruising yachts suited to British and Northern European waters. The survival of 27 drawings for Design 349 indicates the design received thorough technical development, though the absence of dated records or builder information in the current catalogue suggests either loss of associated documentation or incomplete archival registration.
