Historical Context

Design 166 emerged from the A. Mylne & Co. office in 1909, a year of considerable activity in the design practice. The decision to develop this design for at least two builds—Alamo and Brisa—suggests confidence in the design's qualities and market appeal. Argentina's emergence as a centre for yacht building and ownership in the early 20th century reflected growing maritime interests among the republic's prosperous classes. The fact that a Scottish design office's work reached South America underscores the international reputation A. Mylne & Co. had already established by the pre-war period, with designs built not only in Scotland but also abroad.
