Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. operated from 1896 through the mid-twentieth century, establishing itself as one of Scotland's principal yacht design practices. The 1920s represented a period of considerable activity for the office, during which it produced designs across a range of vessel types and sizes. Design 274 (Glynn class) exemplifies the firm's work in accessible cruising craft—modest in scale but considered in their proportions and construction. The construction of Quoile at Bute Slip Dock reflects the continued importance of Bute as a centre of yacht building and repair in the west of Scotland. Small wooden yachts of this character, built in the early 1920s, were designed to serve the recreational sailing community in Scottish waters, where sheltered lochs and coastal cruising grounds supported a steady demand for such vessels.
