Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish naval architect whose design practice extended across several decades of the twentieth century. Design 449 and its realisation as Ptarmigan fall within the 1960s, a time when yacht design was responding to evolving materials and racing rule changes. The existence of twelve drawings for this design indicates a complete design proposal, typical of Mylne's professional practice. The archive preserves these records as part of the comprehensive documentation of his design output.
