Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1855–1921) was a Scottish naval architect whose practice extended across several decades during a period of significant evolution in yacht design. The late nineteenth century witnessed considerable development in sailing yacht design, driven by changing racing rules, evolving construction techniques, and refinement of hydrodynamic principles. Design 46, documented from surviving drawings, represents Mylne's work during this period. The construction of Hirta in 1899 places this design within the context of Mylne's mature practice, a period characterised by refined designs for both racing and cruising vessels.
