Trudi
Also known as: Meryl
Trudi was a wooden yacht built in 1935 by D. Munro & Son at Blairmore to design 370 (Meraquita) from the A. Mylne & Co. office. The vessel measured 18 feet on the waterline with a beam of 7 feet and draft of 3.25 feet, carrying 258 square feet of sail. This design emerged from Mylne's productive mid-1930s period, when the office continued to produce small cruising and day-sailing yachts suited to Scottish waters and beyond.

Historical Context
The Meraquita design (370) emerged in 1934, during a period when A. Mylne & Co. remained actively engaged in small-yacht work. The mid-1930s saw the office producing designs across a range of sizes and purposes—from modest day-sailors to more ambitious cruising yachts. Trudi, built the year following the design's creation, exemplifies the rapid translation of Mylne drawings into reality by capable local builders. D. Munro & Son of Blairmore was among the established wooden-boat builders serving the Scottish market, and their construction of Trudi confirms the regional network within which Mylne's designs circulated. By 1935, Mylne had been in practice for nearly forty years and had established a reputation for practical, seaworthy designs suited to working conditions and private ownership in northern waters.
