Historical Context
Design 370 Meraquita was developed by A. Mylne & Co. in 1934, during a prolific period for the firm. A. Mylne & Co., based in Scotland, had established itself as a leading yacht design office by this decade, though the firm took commissions from builders across Britain and beyond. The construction by A M Dickies of Bangor places Trilby within the Welsh maritime tradition. By the 1930s, A. Mylne designs ranged from racing yachts to cruising vessels like this Meraquita, reflecting the firm's versatility. The year 1937 falls in the late interwar period, when amateur sailing and small-boat cruising remained popular despite economic conditions. Trilby's survival into the modern era makes her a relatively uncommon representative of A. Mylne's smaller designs from this period.
