Historical Context

Design 166 was created in 1909, a year of considerable activity for A. Mylne & Co. This period saw the practice engaged in designing yachts across a wide range of sizes and types, from small cruisers to larger racing yachts. The fact that the design was built in Argentina by a local builder underscores the international character of Scottish yacht design during the Edwardian era. Argentine shipyards and yacht owners actively sought designs from British naval architects, particularly for small craft suited to local waters. The design's modest dimensions and sail plan suggest it was conceived as a practical cruising or racing machine rather than a prestige commission.
