Historical Context
The 1930s represented a significant period in British yacht design, with auxiliary power becoming increasingly standard for cruising vessels. The auxiliary cutter was a preferred type for owners seeking ocean-going capability combined with sailing performance. Mylne's practice during this decade was at maturity, with established reputation and consistent commissions. The year 1936 falls within the final years before the Second World War disrupted yacht building and design practice. Designs from this period often reflected pre-war standards in construction, rig, and accommodation planning. The preservation of 32 drawings for a single design demonstrates the comprehensive documentation methods employed by Mylne's office, ensuring designs could be realised accurately by builders and maintained or modified by subsequent owners.
