Alfred Mylne was one of the most successful yacht designers of his generation. Apprenticed to George Lennox Watson and close friend of William Fife III; his design philosophy was that of grace, pace and space.

Grace - he considered a yacht to be the expression of a yachtsman’s soul and should inspire whether at speed or sitting on her mooring.
Pace - a yacht should be swift but not to tire her crew.
Space – a yacht should be endowed with enough interior volume to make her useful.

Adhering to this philosophy – and a typical gentleman’s cruising yacht of her time with her spoon bow and elegant counter MINGARY has recently undergone a major restoration bringing her very much to the form of her original existence as an exquisite family yacht.

Her current owner, when he restored MINGARY was determined that she should regain her former beauty as much as to work successfully as the family yacht as Mylne had intended. His execution has been clever and somehow MINGARY has a relaxed charm that some restored yachts simply do not achieve. She is spacious enough for comfortable cruising yet handy enough not to require crew.
