Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co. was active from 1896 onwards as a leading Scottish yacht design office. During the decade 1909–1911, when design 166 and Cefiro I were created, the firm was at the height of its reputation for producing practical cruising and racing designs. The early twentieth century saw strong demand for small yachts among amateur owners; designs of 20 feet waterline were well-suited to this market. Cefiro I represents one of many modest cruising yachts built to Mylne designs during this productive period, contributing to the firm's substantial output across a wide range of vessel sizes and types.
