Historical Context
Design 228 dates from 1913, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was actively designing small cruising and racing yachts across a range of sizes and rig types. The Gunter rig—a variant of the traditional gaff rig with the upper spar peaked nearly vertical—remained popular among amateur sailors and small-boat owners into the mid-twentieth century. Its adoption by Mylne for this design reflects the practical preferences of his clientele. Bute Slip Dock, located on the Isle of Bute in the Firth of Clyde, was among several Scottish yards capable of executing Mylne's designs with competence and care. The survival and fate of many small yachts from this era is often undocumented, particularly those not involved in racing or commercial service.
