Historical Context

Design 166, Aurora & Brisa, emerged from A. Mylne & Co. during 1909, a year of considerable activity at the Glasgow office. In this period, Mylne was producing designs across a range of classes and purposes—from small day boats to larger cruising yachts. The commission of this design to a builder in Argentina is evidence of the firm's growing international reputation, even as Mylne's primary market remained Britain and Europe. The small cruiser-racer type represented by Junco reflects the practical requirements of early twentieth-century yacht owners: vessels that could race competitively yet cruise with reasonable comfort and safety. This segment remained a staple of Mylne's practice throughout his career.
