Historical Context
Design 15 belongs to the early period of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice, established in 1896 by Alfred Mylne. The 1890s saw growing demand for small cruising yachts in Scotland and the west of England, and Mylne's early portfolio included designs for vessels of modest size and seaworthiness. The small dimensions of Maya suggest she was intended for amateur owners, reflecting the democratic expansion of yachting in the late Victorian era. Mylne would go on to design larger and more celebrated vessels, but his early work established the technical rigour and practical understanding of hull design that defined his subsequent reputation.
