Historical Context
Design 472 was produced by A. Mylne & Co. during the early 1970s, a period in which the office continued its long tradition of designing small to medium-sized cruising and working vessels. Founded in 1896, A. Mylne & Co. remained active throughout the twentieth century, adapting its design philosophy to evolving materials, construction methods, and owner requirements. The 1970s represented a transitional phase in British yacht design and building, with wooden construction gradually giving way to fibreglass. Finesse exemplifies the modest, practical vessels that formed the backbone of the Mylne practice, designed for utility and seaworthiness rather than prestige or racing.
