Historical Context
Design 295, Moyana II, was created during a productive period for A. Mylne & Co. The 1920s saw the firm consolidating its position as one of Scotland's leading yacht design offices. The auxiliary cutter type—combining efficient sailing characteristics with mechanical power—reflected the practical evolution of private yacht design in the post-war era. Bute Slip Dock's involvement confirms the continued relationship between Mylne and established Scottish builders. The inter-war years produced many working yachts of this size and type, intended for serious cruising rather than racing. Few records survive detailing individual vessels from this period, and Moyana II is no exception. Her fate remains undocumented in the register.
