Historical Context

Design 96 emerged from Mylne's office in 1903, a year of considerable activity for the practice. A. Mylne & Co., established in 1896, was consolidating its reputation for sound, practical small-craft design. Yachts of this size and period typically served private owners on the Clyde, the west coast of Scotland, or English waters. The design's proportions suggest a capable vessel suited to cruising, though without builder records the specific context of Mariposa's commission cannot be established. This design forms part of a substantial catalogue of small yachts produced by Mylne during the early twentieth century.
