Historical Context
Design 159 dates to 1909, a formative period for A. Mylne & Co. The design office, established in 1896, was building its reputation for sound cruising and racing designs in the early years of the twentieth century. The 12-metre class, codified under international racing rules, attracted considerable attention among serious yachtsmen. Mylne's output during this decade included vessels ranging from small cruisers to larger racing yachts, reflecting both the diversity of client demand and the designer's versatility. Werner's 12m sits within a substantial body of Mylne designs from this era, though individual vessels' subsequent histories were often poorly recorded.
