Designed 1911
Historical Context
In 1911, A. Mylne & Co. was well established as a respected yacht design office. The period from 1910 onwards saw increasing demand for smaller, more economical cruising yachts alongside the continued design of larger racing and cruising vessels. Design 204 falls within the office's prolific output of compact designs suited to the British and Northern European market. The modest size and apparent versatility of the Lucie III design reflect contemporary trends toward accessible, owner-operated yachts rather than the larger racing yachts or steam yachts that commanded more public attention. The design's preservation in the Mylne archive is testament to the office's systematic record-keeping.
