Historical Context

Design 166, styled 'Aurora & Brisa', belongs to A. Mylne & Co.'s prolific period of small-craft design in the early 1900s. The office, established in 1896 by Alfred Mylne, became renowned for designs suited to Scottish waters—cruising yachts, day sailors, and working vessels. The dimensions and sail area of Racha suggest she was intended for the owner-sailed market, a sector in which Mylne designs found steady demand. The survival of the vessel into the present day is noteworthy; many yachts of comparable age and size have been lost or broken up.
