Historical Context

The Glen Class, drawn in 1945, emerged during a pivotal moment for A. Mylne & Co. The post-war years saw renewed demand for leisure sailing craft, and designs of modest size and cost became central to the office's output. Glen Reagh, built five years after the design's introduction, represents the realisation of that vision in timber by a regional builder. The Glen Class contributed to Mylne's legacy as a designer of practical, seaworthy small vessels accessible to amateur owners, complementing the larger cruising yachts and racing designs for which the office was equally renowned.
