Historical Context
In 1904, A. Mylne & Co. was in its formative decade as a yacht design office, having been established in 1896. The practice was building its reputation through commissions across a broad range of sailing yachts, from modest cruisers to larger offshore vessels. Design No. 103 sits within the body of work produced during Mylne's early partnership period, when the office was developing the design philosophy that would characterise its output through the twentieth century. The use of Dumbarton builders such as McAllister for construction was typical; the Clyde and its satellite yards were centres of small-craft building, and Mylne maintained working relationships with several local firms.
