Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co., established in 1896, was active in designing yachts across a wide range of sizes and types. The 1920s saw the office producing numerous small cruising and day-sailing designs alongside larger vessels. Design 274, the Glynn class, belongs to this productive period. The use of Scottish builders such as A Malcolm of Bute underscores the regional character of Mylne's practice and the integration of design offices with local construction capacity. Shimna's preservation contributes to the historical record of interwar yacht design in Scotland.
