Historical Context

Design 324 emerged in 1928, a period when A. Mylne & Co. was producing a steady stream of moderate-sized cruising designs. The office, established in 1896, had by the late 1920s developed a mature, efficient approach to small yacht design—balancing comfort and sailing qualities with economy of build. Westra's modest dimensions placed her in a well-established market segment: vessels suitable for private ownership or modest commercial charter work. The absence of recorded builder information is not uncommon for smaller yachts of this era, particularly those built by lesser-known yards or constructed by owner-builders working from Mylne plans.
