Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. emerged from the First World War with a reputation for sound, economical designs suited to amateur owners. The Glen Class, registered as design 400 and created in 1945, exemplified the office's post-war direction: modest-sized wooden cruisers that could be built by established yards and afforded by middle-class yacht enthusiasts. The design was produced at a moment of optimism in British yacht design, when the office anticipated a surge in leisure sailing once peace returned. Builders such as W A Clapham of Bangor participated in this modest revival, constructing vessels to Mylne designs throughout the late 1940s and into the 1950s.
