Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co. established a reputation for practical, well-proportioned sailing yacht designs from the 1890s onward. Design 166, Aurora & Brisa, dates to 1909 and was modest in scope—a small cruising or day-sailing yacht suitable for amateur ownership. That this design was built in Argentina by 1921 reflects the international reach of the Glasgow office's work. Argentine shipbuilding was developing during this period, and the availability of British yacht designs offered local builders and owners proven models. Blue Nose's survival is uncommon among small yachts of this vintage and geography, making her a potential resource for understanding how Mylne designs were adapted and executed outside the British Isles.
