Historical Context
In 1913, A. Mylne & Co. was well established as a leading Scottish yacht design office, having commenced practice in 1896. The office's portfolio encompassed designs across a wide spectrum, from small day boats and shallow-draught cruisers to substantial offshore yachts and racing craft. Design 240 falls within the smaller end of the spectrum and reflects the enduring demand among Scottish owners for modest, shoal-draught vessels suited to the lochs and coastal waters of the west coast. The design's shallow draft and compact beam suggest an emphasis on practicality and ease of handling—hallmarks of Mylne's approach to owner-built and small commercial craft.
