Historical Context

The centre board configuration was a significant development in yacht design, offering advantages in shallow-water performance and reduced draft compared to fixed keel vessels. Alfred Mylne's practice encompassed a broad range of yacht types and configurations throughout his career, reflecting evolving design principles and client requirements of the period. Design 50.1 takes its place within a substantial body of work, though the specific circumstances of its commission and realisation remain undocumented in the current archive record.
