Historical Context
Fedoa's design falls within A. Mylne & Co.'s productive interwar period, when the office was established as a leading Scottish yacht design practice. The auxiliary ketch type was well-suited to the requirements of the 1920s owner—offering the romance of sail combined with the reliability of mechanical propulsion. Mylne designed numerous such vessels during this decade, reflecting a market transition from pure sailing craft to hybrid designs. Bute Slip Dock, where Fedoa was built, was one of several Clyde-based builders with which Mylne worked regularly. The loss of the vessel represents a gap in the historical record of Scottish yacht construction from this period.
