Historical Context
Design No. 75 was produced during A. Mylne & Co.'s formative years, roughly a decade after the office's establishment in 1896. The early 1900s were a period of prolific small-yacht design in Scotland, driven by demand from cruising owners and the growth of leisured sailing. Mylne's practice was built partly on such designs—well-found, seaworthy vessels for the waters around the Clyde estuary and the Scottish islands. Builders such as A Malcolm of Bute were important partners in realizing these designs. Seagull exemplifies the modest scale and practical emphasis that characterised Mylne's early work before the office moved into larger and more ambitious designs in subsequent decades.
