Historical Context

Decima was designed in 1910, a period of significant activity for A. Mylne & Co. The Glasgow-based office, established in 1896, had built a strong reputation for yacht design across a range of sizes and types. Sandbank, where Decima was built, was a renowned centre of Clyde boatbuilding, home to several respected yards. The modest dimensions of Design 179 place it among Mylne's more modest commissions—not the large racing or cruising yachts for which the office became famous, but part of the broader spectrum of work undertaken during this formative decade.
