Historical Context
Design 329 was conceived during a significant period in A. Mylne & Co.'s practice. Founded in 1896, the Glasgow-based office had built a reputation for racing yachts and cruising designs across multiple eras. By 1930, the firm was engaged with motor yacht design alongside its traditional sailing yacht practice. The twin screw motor yacht represented a mature, practical approach to powered cruising—economical in operation and seaworthy in design philosophy. Philip & Son Ltd of Dartmouth was an established builder with expertise in larger vessels; the commission demonstrates the geographical reach of A. Mylne & Co.'s influence beyond Scotland. The survival of Atlantide provides evidence of the durability and continued utility of designs from this period.
