Historical Context
Design 80, Innisfallen, was produced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1903, placing it among the office's earliest commissions. A. Mylne & Co. was founded in 1896 and by 1903 was beginning to build a portfolio of designs ranging from small cruising yachts to larger vessels. The early years of the practice reflected the evolution of yacht design during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, when there was sustained demand for small and medium-sized sailing vessels. Mylne's approach during this era combined practical seamanship with contemporary design principles. The fact that Innisfallen was built by an established Dublin builder suggests the firm's designs had begun to circulate beyond Scotland.
