Historical Context

Design 321 was created in 1929, a period of sustained activity for A. Mylne & Co. The office, founded in 1896, specialised in small craft and working boats alongside larger yachts. The Gunter rig was favoured in the early twentieth century for economical, manageable sailing craft. The 'Wendy' design nomenclature and 'Bombay Tom Tits Class' designation reflect naming conventions of the era, though their precise origin and significance require further research. The survival of this design record in the Mylne archive, despite the absence of construction and ownership details, underscores the breadth of small-craft design work undertaken by the office during the interwar period.
