Historical Context
Design 41, completed in 1899, emerges during the formative decade of A. Mylne & Co., which was established in 1896. This period saw the firm establishing its reputation among Scottish yacht owners and working closely with local builders. The turn of the century marked a transitional moment in yacht design, with increasing experimentation in motor propulsion. Tigris's combination of sail and diesel power reflects this wider industry shift. McAllister of Dumbarton was among the capable regional yards with which Mylne collaborated throughout his career. The survival of Tigris provides insight into the scale and type of vessel that characterised Mylne's early commissions, prior to the firm's later expansion into larger cruising yachts and racing designs that would define the office's reputation throughout the twentieth century.
