Historical Context

Design 149 dates to 1908, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was well established as one of Scotland's leading yacht design practices. The early 1900s saw sustained demand for small cruising yachts among Scottish yacht owners, and Mylne's office produced numerous designs across a wide range of sizes and types. A. Robertson & Sons of Sandbank was a significant boatbuilding centre on the Clyde, and their partnership with Mylne on designs such as Mungo reflects the strong professional connections between designers and builders in the region during this era.
