Historical Context
The Glen Class design, registered as number 400 in the A. Mylne & Co. office, was developed in 1945 as Britain emerged from the Second World War. The post-war years saw renewed interest in small cruising yachts, and Mylne's practice responded with practical, economical designs suited to owner-builders and regional yards. The Glen Class struck a balance between seaworthiness and affordability—important factors as the civilian market for yachts revived. W A Clapham's construction of Glen Lark in 1952 occurred during a period when traditional wooden boat-building remained the norm, before fibreglass became widespread in the 1960s. The survival of Glen Lark indicates the durability of Clapham's build quality and the design's lasting utility.
