Historical Context

Starmist represents a design from Mylne's later working period, following the significant developments in yacht design that occurred during the 1950s. By 1962, Mylne was operating within an established design practice, responding to client requirements and prevailing tastes in cruising and racing yacht design. The sixteen drawings archived suggest a design of some complexity or particular client attention. Limited contextual information survives regarding the commissioning circumstances or the yacht's subsequent use.
