Historical Context

Design 328, named 'Arosa', was created in 1930 during a period when A. Mylne & Co. was producing auxiliary ketch designs suited to both private ownership and professional small-ship work. The auxiliary ketch rig, with its flexibility and sea-keeping qualities, was popular among yacht owners of the 1920s and 1930s. Mylne's designs of this type reflected his understanding of traditional working craft combined with the emerging preferences for motor-auxiliary vessels. The dimensions and proportions of design 328 place it within a cohort of medium-sized cruising yachts that could be built by Scottish, English, and Scandinavian yards during this interwar period.
