Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co.'s design office was active from 1896 and produced a steady stream of motor yacht designs throughout the early twentieth century. By 1910, when design 174 was created, the transition from sail to motor propulsion was well underway, and Mylne's practice reflected this shift with numerous single and twin screw motor designs. The office's approach to small motor yachts was characterised by practical proportions, modest but serviceable accommodation, and proven seaworthiness. Design 174 sits within a substantial body of similar work undertaken during the office's most prolific period. The seventeen-year gap between design and apparent construction may reflect wartime disruption or simply the economics of yacht building during the 1920s, when commissioning remained selective.
