Historical Context
Design No. 80 emerged from A. Mylne & Co.'s design office in 1903, during the office's early period of establishing its reputation as a leading Scottish yacht design practice. The interval of fifteen years between design and Zanetta's construction in 1918 was not unusual; successful designs were often revisited by builders and owners seeking proven forms. Zanetta's build date places her in the immediate post-First World War period, when British yacht construction resumed following wartime disruption. The choice of petrol propulsion reflects the gradual mechanisation of small yacht design in the early twentieth century.
