Departure
Departure is a yacht of 14 feet waterline length designed by A. Mylne & Co. as design No. 362 in 1934. She was built that same year by the renowned Uffa Fox at his yard in Cowes. The vessel is no longer extant. Her shallow draft of 0.44 feet and modest beam of 4.66 feet suggest a small, easily handled design suited to sheltered waters or day sailing.

Historical Context
Design No. 362 dates to 1934, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was established as a leading Scottish yacht design practice. The decision to have the design built by Uffa Fox in Cowes rather than by a Scottish builder suggests either a direct client commission or a professional arrangement between the two offices. Uffa Fox's reputation for innovation in small-craft design and his commercial success as a builder made Cowes a natural choice for the realisation of small designs. The 1930s saw A. Mylne & Co. producing a varied range of designs across different size classes and purposes, from racing yachts to cruising vessels. Departure's shallow draft and modest dimensions place it within the market for accessible small craft of that era.
