Historical Context
The auxiliary ketch was a well-established yacht type during the period of Mylne's practice. This two-masted sailing configuration, supplemented by auxiliary engine power, proved popular amongst yacht owners seeking extended cruising range and operational flexibility. Auxiliary power represented an increasingly common feature in yacht design as internal combustion engines became reliable and affordable. Mylne's design practice encompassed numerous vessels across varying types, from racing yachts to cruising designs. The preservation of Design 592's drawings, though lacking accompanying historical documentation, contributes to understanding the range of vessel types within his portfolio.
