Historical Context
Design 164, produced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1909, belongs to the office's early maturity. By this date, Mylne had established a strong reputation for seaworthy cruising yachts and able motor-sailers. The Sandbank location of the builder, on the east shore of the Gareloch near Helensburgh, was a centre of Scottish yacht construction during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A. Robertson & Sons was among several respected builders in the area. The hybrid construction method—wood on steel—was a common approach during this transitional period, offering the working qualities of timber with improved structural integrity. Yachts of this size and type were typically owned by established amateurs or small charter operators.
