Historical Context

In 1930, A. Mylne & Co. was at the height of its influence as a yacht design practice. The 1920s and 1930s saw strong demand for cruising yachts among private owners, and Mylne's office responded with a series of elegant, sea-kindly designs. The auxiliary ketch configuration allowed owners to motor when necessary while retaining the efficiency and aesthetics of sail. Design 328 falls within the office's established oeuvre of practical cruising vessels, predating the firm's later engagement with larger and more ambitious projects.
