Historical Context
Alfred Mylne maintained extensive design records throughout his career as a naval architect. Design 473 falls within the period of his professional practice, though the exact date of the design's creation is not presently recorded. The auxiliary ketch configuration reflects a popular cruising and ocean-going yacht type during the mid-twentieth century, offering both sail capability and auxiliary engine power. The survival of 33 drawings indicates this was a fully developed design. The construction of Serengeti in 1970 provides a terminus for dating the design's use, though it does not necessarily indicate when the design was first conceived or offered.
