Historical Context

The Glen Class emerged from A. Mylne & Co.'s design practice during the immediate post-war period, when demand for modest cruising yachts and motor-sailers revived. Design 400, created in 1945, reflected broader trends in small-craft design: emphasis on seaworthiness, simplicity of construction, and affordability. Several Glen Class yachts were built by various builders across the British Isles and Ireland, establishing the design as a practical workhorse of the late 1940s and early 1950s. W A Clapham's construction of Glen Moyle in 1949 placed the vessel within a cohort of small wooden cruisers that sustained regional boatbuilding tradition in the post-war decades.
