Historical Context
Design 263 dates to 1919, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was well established as a leading Scottish yacht design office. The firm, founded in 1896, produced a wide range of vessels from small cruisers and racing yachts to larger motor and sailing craft. The post-World War I years saw renewed interest in yacht design and construction as leisure sailing resumed. Small Gunter-rigged designs were economical and practical for amateur owners, and Mylne's office regularly produced such types. Limited archival survival for modest designs such as this reflects the reality that not all vessels from this prolific period were meticulously documented.
