Historical Context
Design 377 was produced during the 1930s, a decade when A. Mylne & Co. maintained steady output in the cruising yacht market. The auxiliary cutter type—motor-sailer—was gaining practical favour among owners seeking economical passage-making combined with the pleasure of sailing. Mylne's designs of this period balanced traditional hull forms with the practical demands of engine installation and sea-keeping in the waters around Britain and Northern Europe. The interwar years saw A. Mylne & Co. engaged with a broad clientele, from ambitious amateur sailors to established yacht clubs. Designs of 35 feet on the waterline occupied a middle ground: substantial enough for serious cruising, yet affordable and manageable for owners without large crews. Marlin's status and ultimate fate remain unrecorded.
