Historical Context
Design 701 sits within the later period of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice, produced well into the firm's final decades of operation. The auxiliary schooner remained a core design type for Mylne throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, valued by owners for its balance of sailing performance and seakeeping ability across ocean passages and extended cruises. The fact that Naema was built several years after the design's completion (2006 construction from a 2013 design) is unusual in Mylne's records and may indicate either a data recording variance or a commissioning period that extended across multiple calendar years. The choice of GraafShip as builder reflects the accessibility of quality steel yacht construction in Northern European yards during this period, a departure from the Scottish and British building traditions that characterised earlier Mylne designs.
