Historical Context
Design 361 was completed in 1934, a year in which A. Mylne & Co. remained active in the design of small yachts despite the economic challenges of the early 1930s. The office's reputation, established since 1896, continued to attract commissions for practical cruising vessels. Bute Slip Dock's choice as builder reflects the ready availability of skilled shipwrights in Scottish boatyards during this period. The survival of Kyla into the modern era is noteworthy; many yachts of her era were lost, broken up during wartime, or allowed to deteriorate. Her continued existence provides an opportunity for study of Mylne design practice and small-yacht construction methods of the interwar period.
