Historical Context

Design 166, the Aurora & Brisa class, was produced by A. Mylne & Co. in 1909, a period when the practice was developing its reputation for practical small craft and cruising yachts. Mylne's output in the early 1900s encompassed a range from modest auxiliary vessels to larger schooners and cutters. The commissioning of Tunuyan in Argentina demonstrates the international scope of Mylne's clientele and the appeal of Scottish yacht design in the southern hemisphere. Small yachts of this class were often employed for cruising, racing in local fleets, or as working vessels in colonial and post-colonial maritime communities.
