Historical Context
Design 48 (Corona) was created in 1900, a year of significant activity for the Mylne office. The early 1900s marked the formative phase of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice, before the firm achieved wider prominence in the inter-war period. Designs of this era typically emphasised seaworthiness and practicality over racing performance, reflecting the market for small cruising yachts among owner-sailors of modest means. The collaboration with Hilditch demonstrates the geographical reach of Mylne commissions, extending to quality builders in both Scottish and Northern Irish yards.
