Historical Context
Design 311 falls within the period of A. Mylne & Co.'s established practice in the 1920s. The firm, founded in 1896 by Alfred Mylne, had become established as a leading Scottish yacht design office by this decade. Bute Slip Dock was a recognised builder of small craft; the choice of this yard suggests a client within the British home market. The dimensions and type of vessel produced during this era reflect the continued demand for cruising yachts among the leisure sailing public of interwar Britain.
