Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co. was established in Glasgow in 1896 and became one of Scotland's leading yacht design offices during the early twentieth century. By 1909, when design 166 was created, the office had developed a substantial catalogue of cruising and racing designs. The commissioning of this design by a builder in Argentina reflects the growing international reputation of Mylne's work and the firm's influence on yacht design practices beyond British waters. The period around 1909 saw Mylne producing designs across a broad spectrum of vessel types and sizes, from small cruisers to larger yachts. Small cruising designs like Aurora & Brisa were characteristic of the office's output, catering to owners seeking practical, seaworthy vessels.
