Historical Context

Design 166, Aurora & Brisa, was created in 1909, placing it within A. Mylne & Co.'s first decade of operation. The Glasgow office, founded in 1896, had by 1909 established a reputation for competent small-craft and cruising yacht design. The fact that this design was built in Argentina by Martinez suggests the reach of Mylne's practice extended to South America, either through direct client contact or through intermediaries. The early 1900s saw growing international interest in Scottish yacht design, and Argentine clients with maritime interests may have sought designs from established British designers. The Aurora & Brisa design appears to have been intended as a modest, practical vessel, consistent with Mylne's philosophy of sound construction and seaworthy proportions.
