Historical Context

Design 287 was developed during a period when A. Mylne & Co. remained active in producing designs across a broad spectrum of vessel sizes and types. The 1920s represented a consolidation phase for the practice following the First World War, with commissions spanning from small cruising yachts to larger vessels. Bute Slip Dock, as a builder, exemplified the network of Scottish shipyards that constructed Mylne designs during this era. The modest dimensions of Gometra are consistent with the company's output of economical cruising craft, reflecting post-war preferences for smaller, more manageable vessels.
