    In keeping with the need to showcase more of the few truly classic yachts that are still in operation today, here is a thread for the beautiful 91.4-meter "Nahlin". She had a long history as well as she changed hands several times over her existence since being finished built in 1930. Currently she is still active and last seen sailing into Gibraltar. Please give her some discussion love.

    There are a couple of interior pictures of Nahlin on Remi Tessier's webpage. The small portholes will give them away.

    Yeah I saw them. Her current owners have thrown alot of money into the current state of "Nahlin".

    Interesting entry on Nahlin in Wikipedia involving a teetotaling, horse breeding heiress, Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, the former King of Romania, the yacht broker Edmiston and the Dyson vacuum fortune. Fun read and I refer you all to it.

    A look at "Nahlin" and also "Ngoni" in Mid Harbour marina in Gibraltar. Interesting Nahlin flying the a 'ceremonialized' UK Jack at half staff on the bow as well as the ensign at the stern, no doubt paying respects to the passing of Prince Philip.
