Historical Context
Design 68 was produced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1902, during the office's early maturity. The firm, established in 1896, was building a reputation for practical, seaworthy small craft designs suited to Scottish cruising conditions. McAllister of Dumbarton was among the established builders of the Clyde, with a tradition of quality construction. Vessels of this size and type reflect the Edwardian enthusiasm for accessible small-boat sailing, before motor auxiliaries became standard. Mylne's designs from this period were conservative in execution but sound in conception, emphasizing safety and workmanship over fashionable novelty.
