Historical Context
In the early 1900s, A. Mylne & Co. maintained an active practice supplying designs to builders throughout the British Isles. The Zanetta design, produced in 1903, exemplifies this period of the office's work. While the majority of Mylne's output concentrated on larger sailing and motor yachts for clients of considerable means, the practice also generated designs for smaller craft, broadening the accessibility of professional yacht design. The appointment of G. Hollwey & Sons of Dublin as builder reflects the established network of reputable shipwrights to whom Mylne regularly supplied plans. These regional partnerships allowed designs to be executed according to local building traditions and materials whilst maintaining Mylne's reputation for practical, seaworthy craft.
