Historical Context
Design 261 dates from 1919, a year of significant activity for A. Mylne & Co. following the First World War. This period saw the Glasgow office engaged in the design of cruising and racing yachts across a range of sizes, reflecting both the growing leisure market and the office's reputation for practical, seaworthy designs. The Darthula design, at approximately 30 feet, falls within the range of vessels that could be owner-maintained and sailed by small crews—characteristic of Mylne's clientele during the interwar years.
