Historical Context
Eilun was designed and built during a formative period for A. Mylne & Co. The office, established in Glasgow in 1896, was developing its characteristic approach to yacht design in the early 1900s. Design 85 appears in 1903, when the practice was producing a range of cruising and racing yachts for clients throughout Britain. The commission to Stone Brothers suggests Mylne's reputation had already extended to English builders and owners. This period of the early 1900s saw the firm establishing the design principles and client relationships that would sustain the practice through the twentieth century.
