Historical Context
The Glen Class design, created in 1945, emerged during a period when A. Mylne & Co. was developing smaller cruising designs for the post-war market. The office, established in 1896, had built a substantial reputation for quality yacht design across all sizes by the 1940s. The immediate post-war years saw renewed demand for modest cruising yachts as private leisure sailing resumed. Glen's construction in 1948 places her among the early examples of post-war British small-craft building, when wooden construction remained the standard and regional builders like Clapham of Bangor continued to support local sailing communities.
