Historical Context
Design 162 was created in 1909, a year of considerable activity for A. Mylne & Co. The firm, established in 1896, was by this period a well-established Scottish design office producing both cruising and racing yachts. The choice of McAllister of Dumbarton as builder reflects the concentration of quality yacht construction on the Clyde during this era. The hybrid construction method—wood planking with steel frames—was a transitional technology of the period, offering builders and owners a middle path between traditional all-wood construction and the emerging all-steel vessels. Javotte represents the middle range of A. Mylne's output: neither a large ocean-going yacht nor a small day boat, but a substantial cruising vessel suited to Scottish waters and beyond.
