Historical Context

Design 98, created in 1903, emerged during A. Mylne & Co.'s established period of practice. The early 1900s saw the firm producing designs across a range of vessel types and sizes, from larger cruising yachts to modest day boats and small cruisers suited to Scottish waters and beyond. The small dimensions of Kelpie suggest a design intended for sheltered cruising or local use, reflecting the diverse clientele served by Mylne's practice in this era.
