Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co. was established in 1896 and by 1909 had begun to establish a reputation beyond Scotland. The commission to build Ollantay in Argentina demonstrates the international reach of the practice during its early period. Design 166 (Aurora & Brisa) represents the firm's output in small cruising yachts, a category that would remain important throughout Mylne's working life. The relatively modest dimensions—20 feet waterline length—reflect the practical craft sought by amateur owners of the Edwardian era. That Ollantay survives into the modern period is noteworthy and contributes to the historical record of Mylne designs executed abroad.
