Historical Context
Design 231 was created during a period of sustained productivity at A. Mylne & Co., following the office's establishment in 1896. The early decades of the twentieth century saw the firm produce yachts across a broad spectrum of size and type, from large ocean-going auxiliaries to small day sailors and racing craft. The Gunter class occupied an important market segment: affordable, straightforward to build and sail, and suitable for amateur owners. While larger Mylne designs achieved prominence in major yacht racing and cruising circles, these smaller designs proliferated quietly through European yards, contributing to the firm's commercial success and broad influence on recreational sailing practice. Anita II's Bavarian build suggests the design was marketed internationally, a common practice for established British yacht design offices seeking to maximise their reach and commission income.
