Historical Context
Runag was designed in 1902, the sixth year of A. Mylne & Co.'s operations. The office, established by Alfred Mylne in 1896, had by this date begun to build a steady clientele among owners seeking well-proportioned, seaworthy cruising yachts. Design 69 falls within the range of small to medium cruising auxiliaries and open water cruisers that characterised much of Mylne's early work. The early 1900s saw sustained demand for such vessels among Scottish and British owners, and design commissions of this size and type form a significant body of the office's catalogue. Fairfield, the builder, was active in Scottish yacht construction during this period. The survival of Runag provides a tangible link to Mylne's formative years and the working yacht culture of the Edwardian era.
