Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co. designed Faith in 1935 during a period of transition in British yacht design. The 1930s saw the office producing designs across a range of vessel types—from racing yachts to practical cruising motor vessels. Design 367 exemplifies the smaller motor yacht category that became increasingly important to the practice as sailing yacht commissions fluctuated. A M Dickies of Tarbert was a respected builder on the Clyde, and the partnership between Mylne and local Scottish boatyards such as Dickies ensured designs were built to a known standard. The Gardner 6L3B engine was a popular choice among yacht builders and represented the reliability expected of engines intended for long-service cruising vessels.
