Historical Context

A. Mylne & Co., established in 1896, developed a prolific design practice serving both home and international markets. By 1909, when design 166 was completed, the office had established a reputation for practical, economical small cruising yachts suited to varied waters and building traditions. The commission to Carlos Gutierrez in Argentina demonstrates the reach of Mylne's influence beyond the United Kingdom and Europe, reflecting broader patterns of design export and technical knowledge transfer characteristic of the Edwardian era. Small yachts numbered in the 20–30 foot range formed a significant portion of the office's output, particularly designs intended for amateur builders or regional shipyards.
