Historical Context
Laragh was built during a significant period in A. Mylne & Co.'s design practice, which had by 1920 established a reputation for practical cruising and racing designs across a range of sizes. The Glynn class, of which Laragh is an example, emerged during the firm's mature years, when Mylne's approach had become increasingly refined following two decades of design work. The early 1920s represented a brief flourishing of small yacht construction in Scotland before economic pressures began to reshape the industry. Bute Slip Dock's construction of Laragh demonstrates the distribution of Mylne designs among Scottish builders, a relationship that sustained much of the office's output through the twentieth century.
