Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co., founded in Glasgow in 1896, established itself among Scotland's foremost yacht design offices. By 1909, when design 166 was created, the firm had built a substantial practice encompassing cruising yachts, racing craft, and small vessels across a wide size range. The commissioning of Mylne designs by builders in Argentina during this period illustrates the global reach of British yacht design in the Edwardian era. South American clients and builders, seeking proven designs, often turned to established Scottish and English design offices. Bambu's construction by Carlos Gutierrez in Argentina testifies to this international trade in designs and the confidence placed in Mylne's reputation.
