Historical Context
Design No. 17 dates to 1896, the year A. Mylne & Co. itself was established. It falls within the early phase of the office's operations, when the practice was building its reputation in yacht design during the latter part of the Victorian era. The yawl rig remained popular for cruising yachts of this size, offering a balance between sailing performance and ease of handling. The design's modest dimensions and working character are typical of Scottish yacht design practice in the 1890s, which emphasised seakindliness and durability over racing performance. Without evidence of construction or a known vessel, Proposal remains a record of the office's design output rather than a realised commission.
