Historical Context
Curlew dates to 1937, a year when A. Mylne & Co. was operating from its established position as one of Scotland's leading yacht design practices. The office, founded in 1896, had by this time completed designs ranging from large motor yachts to smaller cruising vessels. Design 386 falls within the modest end of the practice's output—a period when commissions for 15–20 foot vessels remained common, often for owner-builders or local Scottish yards. The Second World War would follow within two years, after which resumption of leisure yacht building would be delayed until the late 1940s.
