Historical Context
The Glen Class was designed by A. Mylne & Co. in 1945, during the latter years of the Second World War, when yacht design continued despite wartime restrictions. The design emerged at a moment when the firm was consolidating its reputation in small craft and cruising yacht development. Glen Lena, built seven years after the design's inception, represents one recorded example of the class constructed by a regional builder in Northern Ireland. The post-war period saw considerable variation in building locations and continuity of small yacht production, with firms such as W A Clapham maintaining wooden boat building practices into the early 1950s.
