Historical Context
Design 167, completed in 1909, emerged during a prolific period for A. Mylne & Co. The office, established in 1896, was developing a reputation for practical, well-proportioned cruising yachts. The inclusion of a petrol motor reflects the transitional moment in British yacht design when auxiliary power was becoming standard rather than exceptional. Aline's specifications—modest size, moderate draft, and balanced rig—place her within the accessible cruising yacht category that would have appealed to middle-class owners. Her construction by a Bute builder connects her to one of Scotland's principal shipbuilding regions, where A. Mylne & Co. designs were regularly executed.
