Historical Context
Design 34 was created in 1898, a year of significant activity for the young A. Mylne & Co. office, which had been established two years earlier in 1896. The Gunter rig was a practical and economical choice during this period, particularly suited to working yachts and smaller cruising vessels. The late 1890s saw Mylne developing a diverse portfolio of designs ranging from small cruisers to larger racing yachts, establishing the office's reputation for thoughtful, functional design. The scarcity of surviving records for individual builds like Psyche I reflects the challenges of maritime history documentation from this era.
