Vacuum cleaner billionaire, James Dyson’s 95-year-old Nahlin Yacht, is a testament to his maverick nature. The 300-foot vessel, featuring a gym, stately cabins, and viewing rooms, once carried kings and boasts a glamorous past.

About Sir James Dyson –

Once you learn about Sir James Dyson, the inventor worth $13.5 billion , it’s easy to see what drew him to the Nahlin Yacht. This entrepreneur has devoted his life to solving problems and developing products—so a straightforward superyacht would hardly appeal to his maverick nature. The founder and Chairman of Dyson, which now employs more than 5,000 engineers worldwide, attended art school in London and doesn’t even have an engineering degree. As a child with a passion for competitive long-distance running, Dyson attended Gresham’s School, followed by the Byam Shaw School of Art, before studying architectural design at the Royal College of Art.

James Dyson retrofits classic steam yacht

James Dyson retrofits classic steam yacht

Sir James Dyson, the renowned English industrial designer has refitted a 300 feet classic steam yacht named Nahlin.

The 1930 steam yacht Nahlin was completely restored at Blohm + Voss (B+V), a German yacht building firm. The yacht has been refitted with new diesel engines and period-correct paneling and moldings.

Sir James Dyson, who is best known as the inventor of the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner, has refurbished the classic yacht and has re-launched it. Nahlin was originally designed by G.L. Watson for a British heiress and was later owned by the Romanian Royal Family. The 1,574 ton Nahlin, which is 91.4m in length and can hold 58 crew and 351 passengers, was built for Lady Annie Henrietta Yule in 1930.

The historic super yacht was involved in the abdication of King Edward VIII, and has spent much of the last 70 years as a floating restaurant on the river Danube until it was reportedly bought by Dyson. It is believed that Dyson has shelled out GBP25 million ($38.7 million) for the retrofit project.

Nahlin visits the River Dart

Yachting World

  • July 19, 2010

One of the world's finest privately owned yachts - understood to be owned by vacuum cleaner entrepreneur James Dyson - was a visitor to the River Dart last weekend

Nahlin

This is Nahlin, recently re-built by Blohm + Voss in Germany and pictured last week end on the River Dart in Devon. The 300ft long yacht was originally built for Lady Annie Henrietta Yule in 1930 by the John Brown shipyard and was later owned by the Romanian Royal Family. She was also chartered in the 1930s by King Edward VIII and used by him and Mrs Wallis Simpson.

Nahlin was ‘discovered’ some years ago lying on the River Danube by yachting historian Dr. William Collier, who is the owner of the G.L. Watson naval architect firm responsible for Nahlin’s original design. The company has done much of the cataloguing and re-design work necessary to turn Nahlin into a yacht with a modern inventory.

Yacht broker Nicholas Edmiston arranged to have the vessel, which was originally steam-powered, shipped first to Falmouth, then to Liverpool and finally to Germany where the re-fit work has been underway for some years.

It has been reported that Nahlin is now owned by James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame.

Sir James Dyson's luxury yacht in Cornwall after Boris Johnson text message controversy

Sir James Dyson's 1930 luxury yacht Nahlin, moored at Carrick Roads near Falmouth

Our weekend morning emails feature the very best news and exclusive content from our team of reporters

We have more newsletters

Vacuum billionaire Sir James Dyson may well have scarpered to Cornwall to escape the fallout from ‘Textgate’ as his 300ft yacht has been spotted in Falmouth harbour.

One of Britain’s most prominent businessmen has been caught up in what the Labour Party has called “new Tory sleaze” after texts between him and Prime Minister Boris Johnson about tax and the provision of ventilators were made public.

Mr Johnson has said he will publish his text messages and “makes absolutely no apology” for the exchanges with Mr Dyson promising to “fix” tax status for the firm to help build ventilators.

Number 10 sources have accused the PM’s former senior advisor Dominic Cummings of leaking the text messages.

A trip to sunny Cornwall can fix most problems and this might be what Mr Dyson is hoping as his luxury yacht Nahlin is currently in Falmouth , moored on the harbour’s Cross Roads buoy.

Launched in 1930, she is one of the last large steam yachts constructed in the UK having been built by John Brown & Company at Clydebank and was constructed immediately before the RMS Queen Mary.

In 1936 Nahlin was chartered by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson for a cruise in the Adriatic Sea, photos from which sparked rumours of the impending abdication. Informal photographs of Edward and Simpson on board together during the cruise were not published in Britain but became front-page news in America.

The yacht was then bought by King Carol of Romania in 1937 and later became a floating restaurant in the country.

Sir James purchased the yacht from Sir Anthony Bamford, chairman of JCB, in 2006. The inventor spent five years comprehensively rebuilding and restoring it and the ship was recommissioned in 2010 as the Nahlin and registered again in Glasgow, Scotland.

The name Nahlin is taken from a Native American word meaning "fleet of foot" and the yacht has a figurehead depicting a Native American wearing a feathered headdress beneath the bowsprit.

She was originally furnished with six en-suite staterooms for guests, a gymnasium, a ladies' sitting room with sea views on three sides, and a library.

James Dyson, the billionaire famous for buying Singapore's most expensive penthouse in 2019, has moved back to the UK

  • Billionaire James Dyson, inventor of the Dyson vacuum cleaner, has moved back to the UK after two years in Singapore.
  • Dyson spent $54 million on Singapore's most expensive penthouse in July 2019. He sold it in 2020.
  • High-profile billionaires like Sergey Brin and Ray Dalio are opening family offices in the city-state.

Insider Today

Billionaire James Dyson, inventor of the Dyson vacuum cleaner and a notable Singapore resident for about two years, has moved his main address back to the United Kingdom , Benjamin Stupples reported for Bloomberg, citing filings for Dyson's companies including his family office.

Dyson made headlines for paying $54 million for a three-story penthouse atop Singapore's tallest building in July 2019, breaking the city-state's real-estate record. That same year, he relocated the Dyson headquarters to Singapore from the UK and opened a branch of his family office in the city-state. 

Estimates of Dyson's personal net worth range from around $10 billion to as high as $29 billion , with his wealth stemming from his holdings in Dyson Holdings Pte., the UK's best-selling vacuum cleaner , according to Bloomberg.

It's unclear why Dyson, 73, has switched his residency back to his home country. In October 2020, he sold his Singapore penthouse at a $7 million loss, but he still reportedly owns another home in Singapore, a bungalow worth a reported 50 million Singapore dollars , or nearly $38 million.

Dyson's company, which currently employs about 1,400 people in Singapore, said last week that the company would "shortly" be moving into its new headquarters at an old power station in Singapore, according to the Business Times.

"We do not comment on private family matters and nothing has changed in respect of the company," a Dyson spokesperson told Bloomberg. "The structure of the group and the business rationale underpinning it are unaltered."

Related stories

Representatives from Dyson's company and charitable foundation did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment for this story. 

Dyson, who designed the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner  in 1983, also owns a 300-acre estate in the English countryside. On Wednesday, his luxury yacht, Nahlin, was spotted moored off England's Cornish Coast, photos on Getty Images show.

Dyson may be spending less time in the city-state, but other wealthy foreigners seem to be more interested in Singapore than ever. The number of ultra-wealthy people in Singapore grew in 2020 despite the pandemic, according to Knight Frank's annual Wealth Report. In the past six months, billionaire Google cofounder Sergey Brin and hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio both announced they'd be setting up family offices in Singapore . 

Singapore's low taxes have long attracted foreign investors, and the city-state's handling of the coronavirus pandemic has "cemented the country's traditional safe haven status" for the ultra-rich, Wendy Tang, Knight Frank's Group Managing Director in Singapore, said in a recent report .

"When coupled with strong and enduring economic fundamentals, stable governance, and an attractively competitive tax regime, Singapore offers a break in the clouds that pushed some of the world's mega-rich to have a presence here in recent years," Tang said.

Dyson Supersonic Nural review: even better than the original 

This premium smart hairdryer protects your hair and scalp

Rachael Sharpe

Stuff Verdict

A smart, fast and good-looking dryer that’s also kind to your head. The Dyson Nural is mighty pricey, but makes a lot of sense for those with sensitive scalps.

Fast drying for all hair types

Scalp care sensors bring peace of mind

A very lightweight dryer

Seriously expensive

Introduction

Has it really been almost a decade since Dyson broke into – and quickly dominated the haircare industry? I’m not exaggerating when I say the Supersonic hair dryer turned the humble hairdryer into a lust-worthy piece of tech: a quiet motor, lightweight build and super-speedy drying time combined with futuristic looks to make it an instant hit.

The firm has been a prominent name with hairdressers and beauty devotees ever since, with new additions including the Dyson Airwrap , Coralle hair straighteners and more recently the excellent wet-to-dry Airstrait . Now it has finally gone back to the start with the Supersonic Nural.

This dryer brings several improvements over the OG model, including a scalp protect mode – which is timely, seeing how scalp care is having a real moment in the beauty world. But at $500/£400, is it so expensive only hair salons need apply?

How we test grooming products

Every hair dryer, styler, shaver and personal grooming product reviewed on Stuff is tested daily for several weeks, in a variety of typical use cases. We use our own years of experience to judge general performance, battery life, and value for money. Manufacturers have no visibility on reviews before they appear online, and we never accept payment to feature products.

Find out more about how we test and rate products .

Design & features: illuminated life

dyson superyacht

The Nural re-uses the original Supersonic’s overall shape, but is lighter than its predecessor at 680g. An illuminated rear casing that shows off the inner circuitry sets it apart visually. This dryer feels incredibly sturdy and comfortable to hold, being light enough I didn’t get arm ache – despite having lots of hair to get through.

Dyson includes a handful of accessories in the box, including a gentle air attachment for fast drying, a wide tooth comb for detangling, a styling concentrator for precise styling, a flyaway attachment for sleek styles and a new wave + curl diffuser. These are all magnetic and click onto the dryer with ease.

A time-of-flight sensor is new for the Nural. It projects an invisible infrared beam to calculate the distance to your head, and reduces the heat as the dryer gets closer to prevent heat damage to your hair and scalp. The dedicated scalp protect mode automatically limits heat to 55°C, which is meant to be the optimum temperature for scalp comfort and drying speed. The transparent end also changes illumination between cool blue or yellow (low heat), to orange (medium heat) and red (high heat), depending on the distance the machine is from your head.

I absolutely love the pause detect feature on the Dyson Airstait, so I’m chuffed to see it again on the Supersonic Nural. A motion-sensing accelerometer in the dryer automatically deactivates the heater, decreasing airflow and noise, when you are in between styling passes. It’s clever, and very effective. 

The new wave + curl diffuser has two settings. Dome mode draws airflow away from the scalp giving smooth, elongated waves with rounded ends; it’s a great drying option for those, like me, with naturally wavy but not curly hair. In diffuse mode, the pronged insert delivers air deep into the roots for defined, voluminous curls and coils, as per a traditional diffuser.

I really liked how the dryer remembers the last-used heat and airflow settings for each of the five styling attachments, automatically applying them the next time it’s in use. This is an absolute change-changer for those rushed mornings.

Performance: hot stuff

Dyson Supersonic Nural

It’s packed with tech, for sure, but the Supersonic Nural is intuitive to use with just a few buttons. There’s the power switch on the handle, along with a cold shot button for setting hair styles. The illuminating back of the dryer holds a scalp protect mode, speed setting and temperature control buttons. 

As well as being lovely to look at and a pleasure to hold in the hand, the Dyson Supersonic Nural is the best hair dryer I’ve used. I like it even more than the mighty Shark Speed Style , which I was thinking of as my ride or die dyer. It’s not only kind to my scalp, but quick to dry my very thick, naturally wavy hair, and so very quiet. 

The gentle air attachment quickly became my go-to attachment for fast, yet gentle drying. I found the styling concentrator followed by the flyaway attachment was a perfect combo for a more put-together look when I was going out. Perhaps owed to my excessive use of conditioner, my hair doesn’t really get tangled – but I did use the attachment with did a great job of combing my hair while I dried. I imagine for people with a different hair type to my own this will see plenty of use.

The new wave + curl diffuser is a great idea, too. I tried both options and found the dome mode suited my hair best, as it has a wave to it certainly but not full curls. Having the option to style my hair wavy without air dying or using a curling tool is brilliant. Scalp protect mode doesn’t work with the diffuser attachment, but it felt gentle on my hair anyway and the results were great.

Dyson Supersonic Nural verdict

Dyson Supersonic Nural

I could only find one thing not to love about the Dyson Supersonic Nural: the price. This is a serious investment for anyone that doesn’t work in a hair salon.

That said, I think it’s a worthwhile one if you reach for your hairdryer regularly. It dries quickly and quietly, while protecting your scalp in the process.

Stuff Says…

Score: 5 /5
