Cisne

Built 1931Martinez

Cisne is a 20-foot sailing yacht built in 1931 by Martinez in Argentina to design 166, Aurora & Brisa, developed by A. Mylne & Co. in 1909. The vessel measures 20 feet on the waterline with a 7-foot beam and 3-foot draft, carrying 320 square feet of sail. Cisne remains in existence. This modest cruising design reflects Mylne's prolific output in small-craft naval architecture during the early twentieth century.

Historical Context

Design 166, Aurora & Brisa, originated in 1909 when A. Mylne & Co. was at the height of its influence in British and international yacht design. The firm's early decades were marked by prolific output across multiple size categories, from small cruising designs to larger racing and cruising yachts. The decision by an Argentine builder to construct to a Mylne design two decades after its creation underscores the durability of these designs and their appeal beyond the British market. Such time lags between design and build were not uncommon, as designs circulated through maritime publications, owner recommendations, and international correspondence. Cisne represents one point in a wider pattern of Mylne designs adapted and built worldwide.
