Galatea
Also known as: Fuinary
Galatea is a Gunter yacht of 21 feet on the waterline, designed by A. Mylne & Co. under Design Number 211 in 1912. The vessel was conceived during a period when the Gunter rig—a practical, efficient sail plan suited to small cruising yachts—held considerable appeal among Scottish yacht owners. The year of construction and subsequent history of Galatea remain incompletely documented in available records.

Historical Context
During the early 1900s, A. Mylne & Co. produced designs across a range of small cruising and racing yachts, many equipped with fore-and-aft rigs suited to Scottish waters and modest budgets. The Gunter rig enjoyed a revival of interest in the Edwardian period, particularly for vessels under 30 feet, where its tall spar and simple operation offered practical advantages. Design 211, drawn in 1912, falls within this productive phase of the office. The design demonstrates Mylne's competence in laying out small craft with wholesome proportions and seakindly characteristics. Limited archival information about Galatea's actual construction and service history reflects the partial survival of Mylne office records and the passage of time since the vessel's design.
