Historical Context

Medora dates from 1906, a year marking the firm's continued growth and consolidation of its reputation. Alfred Mylne had established his office in 1896, and by the early 1900s was producing designs across a range of vessel types and sizes. Design 126 falls within the office's core output of small to medium cruising yachts. The use of Dumbarton builders reflects the importance of the Clyde and west coast yards to Mylne's practice. During this period, the office was developing the design principles and client relationships that would sustain it through the Edwardian era and beyond. Medora represents the practical, workmanlike approach to small-yacht design that characterised much of Mylne's output and contributed to the firm's standing among owners and builders alike.
