Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1965) was a distinguished Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned more than half a century. His work encompassed a wide range of vessel types, from small cruising yachts to large racing designs and commercial craft. Mylne's design philosophy reflected both aesthetic refinement and practical seamanship. The centre board type—a design configuration that allowed vessels to reduce draft while maintaining windward performance—represented an established tradition in yacht design, addressing specific operational requirements for coastal and shallow-water cruising.
