Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades, producing numerous yachts for clients across different markets and purposes. Design 68 falls within this broader body of work, though its specific context—whether designed for racing, cruising, or other purposes—cannot be determined from the current archive record. The survival of thirteen drawings indicates this design was developed to a considerable degree of detail. The construction of Trixie in 1902 demonstrates that at least one client commissioned this design for realisation. The gaps in the archive record for this design are not uncommon for works of this period, particularly where original client records or builder documentation have been dispersed or lost.
