Historical Context
Design 22 was created in 1898, during the formative decade of A. Mylne & Co. The office, founded in 1896, was developing its design practice across several classes and types of sailing and power vessels. The modest waterline length of Ceres places her in a category of small cruising yachts that would have been practical for Scottish and British waters. This period saw growing interest in affordable, seaworthy cruising vessels, and Mylne's early designs reflected contemporary demand for vessels suitable for amateur owners seeking coastal and offshore passage-making.
