Design No. 376
Ailsa
Design 376 represents a single screw motor yacht from the Alfred Mylne design practice. Originally named Ailsa, this vessel appears in the archive records, though substantial details regarding construction, dimensions, and subsequent history remain incomplete. The design survives as a record within the comprehensive Mylne collection, offering insight into the range of commissions undertaken by this distinguished Scottish naval architect.
Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) established himself as one of Scotland's foremost naval architects, with a practice spanning several decades. His work encompassed sailing yachts, motor yachts, and larger vessels. The proliferation of single screw motor designs in the early to mid-twentieth century reflected broader maritime trends toward mechanised propulsion. Design 376 appears within this context, though its exact chronological position and technical specifications require further investigation. The Mylne archive, whilst substantial, contains gaps in documentation that reflect both the passage of time and the variable survival rates of working records from professional practices of this era.
