Historical Context
Design No. 29 was produced during the early phase of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice, when the firm was establishing its reputation for practical, well-proportioned small craft suitable for owners on the Scottish west coast and beyond. The 1898 design date places Vashti within the office's formative decade, before the practice expanded to undertake larger and more varied commissions. The 19-foot waterline length reflects the period's preference for economical, manageable vessels. Many designs from this era survive only in fragmentary form, and the absence of builder details and construction records is not uncommon for smaller craft of the period.
