Historical Context

Design 383 was produced during the 1930s, a period when A. Mylne & Co. continued to design small and medium cruising yachts for Scottish and broader British clientele. The firm, established in 1896, maintained offices in Glasgow and worked closely with builders across the west of Scotland, including the specialist yards on Bute. Bute Slip Dock was among several active boatbuilding concerns on the island during this era. Vrana's modest size and traditional wooden construction reflect the continued demand for owner-sailed yachts in the pre-war and immediate post-war years. The register holds limited documentary evidence for many vessels of this period, particularly smaller craft.
