Historical Context
Design 324 dates to 1928, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was well established as one of Scotland's leading yacht design offices. The late 1920s saw Mylne producing designs across a broad spectrum—from racing yachts to modest cruising vessels. Small cruising designs such as this reflected both the practical needs of owner-skippers and the economic conditions of the period. Bute Slip Dock, the builder, was a local Bute boatyard. The 1930s represented a sustained period of yacht design and construction by Mylne before the Second World War disrupted the industry.
