Historical Context
The Glen Class was introduced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1945, during a period of design activity that extended through the Second World War and into peacetime. The post-war years saw renewed demand for small cruising and day-sailing yachts as leisure boating resumed. Mylne's smaller designs were pragmatic responses to this market, offering proven hull forms and manageable dimensions for owner-builders and established yards alike. Glen Dun, built four years after the design's introduction, represents the continued currency of the Glen Class into the late 1940s. W A Clapham's construction of Glen Dun in Northern Ireland reflects the geographical reach of Mylne's influence, with builders in Scotland, England, and Ireland all working to his designs.
