Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned several decades, during which motor yacht development evolved substantially. The 1960s saw increasing refinement of twin screw installations, which provided superior manoeuvrability compared to single-screw vessels. Design 470, realised as Miss Abu in 1968, sits within this period of advancement in motor yacht design. Mylne's continued engagement with motor yacht commissions demonstrates the breadth of his naval architecture practice beyond his renowned sailing yacht designs.
