Historical Context

Design 166 was created in 1909, during the formative years of A. Mylne & Co., when the Glasgow-based office was gaining recognition for its work across Britain and beyond. The commissioning of designs by Argentine builders reflects the international reach of Scottish yacht design in the Edwardian era. Small cruising yachts of this type were economical to build and suited to a range of conditions. Martinez's construction in Argentina suggests either a direct client relationship or the licensed reproduction of a Mylne design for a local market. Limited documentary evidence survives for many vessels built overseas during this period.
