Historical Context

Design 166 was created by A. Mylne & Co. in 1909 as the Aurora & Brisa design, during the office's early decades of practice. The period between 1909 and 1931 saw considerable evolution in yacht design and construction practices. That the design remained in the office portfolio and was selected for building in Argentina over two decades after its creation reflects the durability and perceived utility of Mylne's work. The 1920s and early 1930s witnessed A. Mylne & Co. producing designs across a wide range of sizes and types; Sirio's modest dimensions place her among the smaller cruising yachts of the period. International commissions such as this Argentine build demonstrate the growing reputation of the Glasgow office in maritime circles beyond the British Isles.
