Historical Context

Design 166, created in 1909, dates from the middle period of A. Mylne & Co.'s first century of operation. During this decade, the Glasgow-based practice was producing designs across a range of vessel types and sizes, responding to evolving tastes in yacht design and construction. The Edwardian period saw a sustained demand for small cruising yachts in British waters, and the modest dimensions of this design reflect that market segment. By 1909, Mylne's office had established a reputation for practical, seaworthy designs. The fact that Design 166 was used for at least three yachts (Aurora, Brisa, and Driue) suggests it was a successful and commercially viable design within its class.
