Historical Context

The Glen Class was developed by A. Mylne & Co. in 1945, during a period when the design office was considering small, economical cruising craft suited to post-war amateur ownership. The design reflected established Clyde practice in hull form and proportions, scaled to a size that offered simplicity of construction and modest running costs. Unnamed (32) was built six years after the design's introduction, suggesting a modest but genuine market for the type among British and Irish builders. The Glen Class sat within A. Mylne & Co.'s broader portfolio of small sailing yachts, occupying a practical niche between racing dinghies and larger cruising designs. The firm's output in this size range was considerable but has been less thoroughly documented than their larger and more celebrated commissions.
