Historical Context

Design 166 was created during A. Mylne & Co.'s early years, when the Glasgow office was establishing itself as a serious force in British and international yacht design. The 1909 date places it within the Edwardian period of yacht design, before the First World War reshaped British industry and maritime practice. The use of this design by a builder in Argentina demonstrates the international circulation of Mylne's work, even at this early stage. Small cruising yachts of this size were practical vessels for private owners and modest commercial purposes; the design's replication across at least three hulls suggests it met a recognised market need.
