Historical Context
Design 48 was part of A. Mylne & Co.'s output during the firm's early period of operation. The year 1900 marks a significant point in Scottish yacht design, when smaller cruising and working yachts represented a substantial portion of the office's commission work. Hilditch's yard at Carrickfergus, County Antrim, was an established builder capable of constructing vessels to professional designs. The Corona design represents the practical, modest yachts that formed the foundation of Mylne's diverse portfolio, distinct from the larger racing yachts and motor vessels for which the office became renowned in later decades.
