Historical Context
Design 55 was created in 1900, during the opening years of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice. The design office, established in 1896, was building its reputation through designs for a broad spectrum of sailing yachts suited to Scottish waters and beyond. Wooden construction remained standard practice in 1900, and builders such as Wilson of Annan were among the skilled craftsmen executing Mylne's designs. The small to medium cruising yacht market of this period was an important sector of the design office's work, and Sentinel exemplifies the practical, seaworthy vessels characteristic of Mylne's early output.
