Historical Context
Design 190, produced in 1911 and named 'Schelm', appeared during a period of sustained output from A. Mylne & Co., which had been established in 1896. The firm developed a range of designs for small cruising yachts and day sailors suitable for Scottish waters and the broader British market. Builders including A Malcolm of Bute were among the craftsmen who brought these designs to life. The construction of Audifax in 1913 falls within the pre-First World War expansion of private yacht building, before economic and social upheaval curtailed such activity. The design office's ability to produce multiple versions of a single design, as evidenced by 'Schelm', reflects a practical approach to meeting demand while maintaining design integrity.
