Susette
Also known as: Ness
Susette was built in 1903 by A. Robertson & Sons of Sandbank to A. Mylne & Co. Design No. 73, which was drawn in 1902. A small yacht of 19 feet on the waterline with a beam of 7 feet and 500 square feet of sail area, she represents the kind of modest cruising and day-sailing design that formed a significant part of the Mylne office's output during the early 1900s. The current status of the vessel is not known.

Historical Context
During the early 1900s, A. Mylne & Co. was at the height of its activity, producing designs across a range of sizes and purposes. The small cruiser and day-sailer formed an important segment of this work, particularly for the Scottish market centred on the Clyde and its tributaries. A. Robertson & Sons of Sandbank was among the capable local builders with whom Mylne collaborated regularly. Design No. 73, produced in 1902, exemplifies the office's methodical approach to modest cruising vessels—well-proportioned craft suitable for amateur owners seeking practical performance without excessive beam or draft. The survival and subsequent history of many small yachts from this period remains fragmentary, and Susette's story is not an exception.
