Historical Context
Design 274 was produced during a period when A. Mylne & Co. remained one of Scotland's leading yacht design offices. The early 1920s saw continued demand for small cruising yachts suited to Scottish waters, particularly on the Clyde and among the islands. Bute Slip Dock was an established builder on the Isle of Bute, reflecting the concentration of yacht building on the Clyde estuary and adjacent areas. Mylne's practice encompassed vessels across a wide range of sizes and purposes; designs of this modest scale were produced alongside larger racing and cruising yachts. Glynn exemplifies the working cruiser of the inter-war period—practical, economical to build, and capable in local waters. The survival of the yacht provides a tangible record of Mylne's design methodology and the craftsmanship of Clyde-based builders during this significant period in Scottish yacht building history.
