Historical Context
In 1904, A. Mylne & Co. was in its established phase as a leading Scottish yacht design practice. The office, founded in 1896, was producing designs across a range of vessel types for private owners and small-scale builders throughout Scotland. Sandbank, on the Cowal Peninsula, was home to several respected boatyards; A. Robertson & Sons was among the competent local builders commissioned to construct Mylne designs. Small cruising yachts of 30 feet and under formed steady work for both designers and builders in this period. The survival record of such vessels built in the early 1900s is patchy; many were lost to neglect, accident, or wartime exigencies over the subsequent decades.
