Historical Context

Design 166 was drawn by A. Mylne & Co. in 1909, a period when the Glasgow office was producing designs across the full spectrum of yacht types, from small cruising craft to larger seagoing vessels. The concurrent designation with Aurora & Brisa suggests these were either variants of a single concept or companion designs developed for specific patrons. The small-boat designs of this era reflect both the practical demands of Scottish and British coastal cruising and the emerging influence of modern yacht design theory. The dimensions and sail area of Design 166 place it within the modest cruising class, practical for amateur owners and suited to the sheltered lochs and coastal waters of Scotland and northern England.
