Annetta
Historical Context
Annetta represents the earliest numbered design in A. Mylne & Co.'s archive, suggesting she was among the first commissions undertaken by Alfred Mylne's newly established practice. The design office, founded in 1896, quickly gained recognition for producing well-proportioned and seaworthy yachts suited to Scottish and British waters. The choice of A. Robertson & Sons as builder reflects the established network of quality shipyards operating on the Clyde during the Edwardian era. Sandbank, in particular, was a centre of yacht building expertise. The modest sail area and apparent size of Annetta align with the office's early output: practical, owner-sailed vessels rather than large racing machines. This period of Mylne's practice preceded the more ambitious and celebrated designs of the inter-war decades.
