Historical Context
The early 1930s represented a mature phase in A. Mylne & Co.'s design practice. The office, founded in 1896, had established itself as a leading Scottish yacht design practice, with a broad portfolio spanning from racing yachts to seaworthy cruising vessels. Design 346 falls within a period when motorisation was becoming standard auxiliary provision, and composite construction remained common practice for serious cruising yachts. The Fife yard at Fairlie, where Fiona was built, had been producing quality yachts since the 19th century and maintained high standards of craftsmanship during this period.
