Moyola
Moyola is a wooden sailing yacht built in 1921 by Bute Slip Dock on the Isle of Bute to design 274 (Glynn) by A. Mylne & Co. The vessel was constructed in pitch pine on oak frames, a traditional building method characteristic of Scottish yacht construction of the period. With a waterline length of 18 feet and beam of 7 feet, she represents a modest cruising design from the early interwar period. The yacht remains in existence.

Historical Context
Design 274, the Glynn type, belongs to the early 1920s phase of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice, when the office was firmly established as a leading Scottish yacht design consultancy. The Glynn design represents the modest, practical cruising yacht—a category that formed a significant portion of Mylne's output during the interwar period. Bute Slip Dock, where Moyola was constructed, was among the respected builders in the Clyde and Bute region with whom Mylne maintained working relationships. The pitch-pine-on-oak construction method reflects the continuity of Scottish shipwright tradition in this era, before the later adoption of alternative materials and methods. Moyola exemplifies Mylne's commitment to functional, economical design for owners seeking reliable coastal cruising vessels.
