Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) was a distinguished Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned several decades during the twentieth century. His designs encompassed cruising yachts, racing vessels, and working craft across a range of sizes and rig configurations. The auxiliary ketch configuration, employing both sail and mechanical propulsion, became increasingly common during the mid-twentieth century as engine reliability improved. Mylne's design practice adapted to these developments, incorporating motor capability into traditional sailing forms. Design 495 remains part of the comprehensive archive maintained to document Mylne's extensive design work.
