Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's practice encompassed a diverse range of yacht types throughout his career, including both sailing vessels and motor yachts. The transition towards motor propulsion represented a significant shift in yacht design during the early-to-mid twentieth century. Single screw motor yachts became a practical choice for private owners seeking mechanised propulsion without the complexity of larger multi-engine installations. Design 373 falls within this category of practical motor yacht design, though without dated documentation, its precise position within Mylne's chronological output cannot be established from the archive records alone.
