Design No. 96
Mariposa
Design 96 represents one of Alfred Mylne's proposals, originally conceived for a yacht named Mariposa. The design survives in the archive as a set of eleven drawings. While the fundamental specifications of this design—including the yacht's dimensions, rig configuration, and construction details—remain undocumented in the current archival record, the drawing set provides evidence of Mylne's design work during his practice.

Historical Context
The Mylne archive contains numerous design proposals spanning several decades of practice. Many designs were realised as completed yachts, whilst others remained proposals or were substantially modified during construction. Design 96 falls within a period of Mylne's career for which archival documentation is incomplete. The survival of the drawing set itself is significant, as it testifies to the design work undertaken, even where ancillary records—such as client correspondence, specification sheets, or construction records—have not been preserved. This pattern is common across historical yacht design archives, where drawings often outlast administrative papers.
