Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. was established in Glasgow in 1896 and remained active until approximately 1980, producing over 600 designs for yachts of all sizes and types. The practice was particularly renowned for racing yachts, cruising boats, and working vessels suited to Scottish and Northern waters. Design 1043, Foam, falls within the broad catalogue of small cruising designs that formed a significant portion of the office's output, especially during the inter-war period and post-1945 years when affordable small yachts enjoyed renewed demand among amateur sailors.
