Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) was a prominent Scottish yacht designer based in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire. Over a career spanning several decades, Mylne produced designs for a diverse range of sailing vessels, from small cruising yachts to larger ocean-going craft. His work was characterised by careful attention to seaworthiness and aesthetic proportion. The archive preserves his design records systematically, though not all associated information—such as builder identities, construction dates, and subsequent ownership histories—has been retained for every design. Design 47, represented by the set of twelve drawings and the record of Narana as a built yacht, exemplifies this selective preservation of documentation.
