Historical Context

Design 166, Aurora & Brisa, emerged from A. Mylne & Co. in 1909, a period when the firm was consolidating its reputation in small yacht design. The seven-year interval between design and Cefiro II's construction in 1916 was not unusual; designs were often built to order over extended periods, or revived after initial creation. Hilditch of Carrickfergus was among several regional builders who worked from Mylne designs during this era. The First World War (1914–1918) disrupted yacht building; Cefiro II's construction in 1916 occurred during the conflict, suggesting either essential naval or civilian work, or completion of pre-war commissions. Post-war, records for many small wooden vessels became sparse, particularly those that did not enter significant racing fleets or remain in prominent ownership.
