Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co., founded in 1896 and based in Glasgow, Scotland, became one of Scotland's foremost yacht design offices by the early 1900s. Design 166, Aurora & Brisa, was created in 1909, during a period of significant output and innovation within the office. The practice's influence extended well beyond British waters; commissions for yachts built in Canada, Australia, and other maritime nations demonstrate the global reputation Mylne had established. The construction of Ñahati by Martinez in Argentina shows this international reach and the adaptability of Mylne designs to local building traditions and materials. Small cruising yachts of this type, designed around the turn of the twentieth century, represented a significant market segment, reflecting growing leisure sailing and the development of coastal yacht clubs across the Americas.
