Historical Context

Alfred Mylne maintained an active design practice throughout the twentieth century, producing designs across a broad spectrum of vessel types. The early 1960s, when Ferroch was built, represented a period of continued interest in purpose-built motor yachts among private clients. Twin screw configurations offered advantages in handling and seakeeping compared to single-screw alternatives. Mylne's design output during this decade included both sailing and motor vessels, reflecting evolving client preferences and technological developments in marine engineering.
