Historical Context
Design 154 emerged during a formative decade for A. Mylne & Co., when the practice was establishing itself as a leading Scottish yacht design office. The year 1908 saw the firm engaged with both cruising yachts and larger racing designs. The Clyde remained the primary construction hub for Mylne designs during this period, with builders such as A McKellar active at Kilcreggan. Small cruising designs of this size were important commissions, catering to a market of private owners seeking modest but seaworthy vessels for summer cruising. The shallow draft favoured by Mylne in Maid of Lorn's design reflected intimate knowledge of Scottish coastal and river navigation. A. Mylne & Co. would continue refining such designs throughout the Edwardian period and beyond.
