Historical Context

Alfred Mylne's design practice extended across several decades and encompassed a wide range of vessel types. The auxiliary schooner represented a significant category within British yacht design during the 1920s and 1930s, combining sailing capability with auxiliary power for practical cruising and commercial applications. Design 387 reflects this period. The preservation of 34 drawings indicates a design of some complexity. The year 1938 situates Panda's construction in the final years before the Second World War, a period when private yacht building continued in Britain despite growing international tensions.
