Historical Context
Design 48 (Corona) was created by A. Mylne & Co. in 1900, during the office's early expansion phase following its establishment in 1896. The firm was developing a varied portfolio of designs for small to medium cruising yachts suited to British and Irish waters. The commissioning of Curlew by Hilditch in 1902 reflects the growing network of builders in Ireland and western Scotland working from Mylne designs. This period saw the practice of design offices licensing or supplying plans to regional builders as a standard commercial model. Few detailed records of the smaller vessels from this era survive, particularly those built outside the principal Scottish yards.
