Historical Context
Design 370 was created during a significant period in A. Mylne & Co.'s practice. The 1930s saw the firm continuing to produce a range of designs across different size classes, from small cruising yachts to larger sailing vessels. The building of Meraquita in 1938, four years after her design, reflects the typical interval between design completion and construction that occurred in the inter-war years. D. Munro & Son was one of several Scottish builders who worked from Mylne designs, including yards on the Clyde and the west coast. This yacht exemplifies the modest, functional approach to yacht design that characterised much of Mylne's practice—vessels intended for practical use rather than prestige or racing.
