Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades and encompassed a wide variety of vessel types suited to diverse maritime purposes. The auxiliary ketch, combining sail and engine, emerged as a practical formula during an era of transition in yacht design. Such vessels offered owners the advantages of sailing efficiency whilst retaining the reliability and convenience of mechanical propulsion—an increasingly valued attribute as marine engines became more dependable.
