Historical Context

Design 166 was produced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1909, a formative decade for the practice following its establishment in 1896. The office's early years saw a diverse output ranging from large sailing yachts to small cruising craft. The commissioning of Bermejo by a builder in Argentina demonstrates the international reach of Mylne's reputation by the early 1900s. During this period, Scottish yacht design offices competed for commissions across the British Empire and beyond, and Argentine shipbuilders' adoption of Mylne designs suggests recognition of the firm's competence in practical, seaworthy small craft. The Aurora & Brisa design appears to have been intended for modest coastal and cruising duties, reflecting market demand for affordable, soundly-built yachts in the early twentieth century.
