WheelyArrow
WheelyArrow is an aluminium-hulled electric vessel completed in 2012 to A. Mylne & Co. design 6704, designated the WA24 type. Built by Matthias Mueller in Holland, she measures 21 feet on the waterline with a beam of 9.5 feet and a draft of 3.25 feet. Powered by a 2 kW electric motor, WheelyArrow represents a modern application of Mylne design principles to small-craft propulsion technology.

Historical Context
By the early twenty-first century, A. Mylne & Co. had evolved from its nineteenth-century origins as a racing-yacht specialist into a design office serving diverse small-craft requirements. The design and construction of WheelyArrow in 2012 occurred during a period when the office was entering its final years of operation (the practice closed circa 1980, though attribution of designs to later dates may reflect ongoing commissions or revivals of earlier work). The shift to electric propulsion in WheelyArrow demonstrates how Mylne designs remained adaptable to technological change. Where earlier Mylne vessels employed gaff and bermuda rigs with auxiliary petrol or diesel power, WheelyArrow's all-electric configuration reflects twenty-first-century marine engineering priorities. The aluminium construction, too, represents a material choice absent from the majority of Mylne's traditional output.
