Historical Context
Design 349 dates to 1932, a year of continued activity at A. Mylne & Co. during the interwar period. The office produced designs across a range of vessel types, from small cruisers to larger motor yachts and working craft. The Fidelis design reflects the enduring popularity of the auxiliary cutter type among British cruising enthusiasts, a configuration that balanced the appeal of sail with the practicality of mechanical propulsion. The modest dimensions suggest a private owner's vessel, typical of the market Mylne served. Documentation gaps for this design—particularly regarding the builder and construction details—are not uncommon for vessels of this vintage and size, especially if they saw limited racing profile or public exhibition.
