Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. established its design office in Glasgow in 1896 and remained active until approximately 1980. The firm produced hundreds of designs ranging from small day-sailers to substantial cruising yachts and motor vessels. Design 235, created in 1913, falls within Mylne's period of sustained output for the small-craft market. The Gunter rig, which appears in several Mylne designs from this era, reflected contemporary preferences for manageable sail plans suited to amateur crews. The early twentieth century saw growing demand for affordable, robust yachts among middle-class owners, and Mylne's practice catered to this market alongside custom designs for more ambitious clients. Without confirmation of actual construction or launch records, the design remains documented only as a conceived project in the office archives.
