Judi of Bute
Designed 1964
Historical Context
Design 454 was produced during the 1960s, a period when A. Mylne & Co. continued to develop practical motor-yacht designs for Scottish builders. The assignment to Bute Slip Dock, located in Bute, reflects the concentration of small-to-medium shipbuilding activity in Scottish yards during this era. The 1972 engine upgrade to Volvo Penta units reflects the widespread adoption of Scandinavian diesel technology by British and Scottish marine operators in the post-war decades. This design falls within the office's broader portfolio of working and cruising motor vessels, positioned between the lighter pleasure craft and the larger commercial or semi-commercial types that characterised Mylne's output across six decades.
