Historical Context
Design 400, the Glen Class, was drawn by A. Mylne & Co. in 1945, during the final year of the Second World War. The Glen Class exemplifies the design office's continuing output of small cruising yachts—a market segment that sustained many of Mylne's commissions throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Glen May, built five years after the design's conception, represents the transition from wartime design work to the revival of civilian yacht building in the post-war period. W A Clapham of Bangor was among the regional builders engaged to construct Mylne designs, reflecting the distributed nature of British yacht building outside the major southern yards.
