Historical Context

Design 166 was created in 1909, during the formative years of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice. The office, founded in 1896 by Alfred Mylne, established itself as a prolific designer of small cruising and racing yachts suited to British and Northern European waters. The fact that design 166 was revisited for construction in 1932—over two decades after its conception—suggests the design possessed enduring qualities that made it worthy of replication. Himboy represents the tail end of the pre-war design era, built on the eve of significant changes in leisure sailing brought about by the Second World War.
