Historical Context
Design no. 48 was produced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1900, a year of significant activity in the office. The firm, established in 1896, was developing a range of small to medium cruising and racing designs suited to British and Irish builders and owners. Hilditch of Carrickfergus was an active yard during this period, building both commercial and yacht work. The 'Corona' type appears in the office records as a modest design, representative of the practical, seaworthy vessels Mylne favoured during the early years of his practice.
