Historical Context
Design 1068 was created during 1925, a significant period in A. Mylne & Co.'s design practice. The office, established in 1896, maintained a diverse portfolio spanning racing yachts, cruising vessels and steam-powered craft. Steam propulsion, though declining in favour of diesel and petrol engines during the 1920s, remained specified for certain yacht designs, particularly larger cruising vessels where reliability and operational range were valued. The limited records for Gelert are consistent with gaps that exist for some designs from this era.
