The Krapperup estate dates from medieval times, but the existing manor, except the wings, is from the 16th century. When the Podebusk family built the castle, Skåne was still part of Denmark.

Classic luxury yacht Nahlin in Öresund
Sir James Dyson´s 300 ft (91.4 m) motor yacht Nahlin passed by at noon today on its way to the island of Ven. Unfortunately the light was not ideal, but I hope you can still get an impression of how beautiful this classic yacht is. Nahlin was sailing very close to the Danish coast in Öresund.
"Nahlin is a luxury yacht and one of the last of three large steam yachts constructed in the UK. She was built for Lady Yule, heiress of Sir David Yule, and was launched in 1930.[3] She is owned by British industrial entrepreneur Sir James Dyson, who purchased her from Sir Anthony Bamford, Chairman of JCB.[4][5] 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."

The Swedish Square Metre Yacht Britt-Marie (1920)
The Swedish publisher and yachtsman Erik Åkerlund´s Swedish Square Metre Yacht (skerry cruiser) Bitt-Marie, photographed in the Stockholm archipelago in 1920. The boat, which was designed by Erik Salander, was built at the Hästholmsvarvet in 1917. My colorization of Oscar Norberg´s photo in the Maritime musem of Sweden archive.
Åkerlund owned the boat in 1919 - 1922, after which it has had several owners and names. Since the mid 80s it is sailing in Finland as ILA.
