Historical Context
Design 262 dates to 1919, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was producing designs across a wide range of sizes and types. The early post-First World War years saw continued demand for modest cruising yachts, and small Gunter-rigged vessels remained popular among amateur sailors and small boat clubs. Blyth Boat Building Co., based in England, was among many regional builders who worked from Mylne designs during this era. The firm's output ranged from racing yachts and substantial cruisers to practical small craft such as Puffin, reflecting the broad appeal of Mylne's design practice and the accessibility of professional yacht design to builders and owners across Britain.
