A jacket completes any crew member's uniform so it's an important garment to get right. In this Tried & Tested, Sea Design pits eight popular jackets against one another to determine which one is best for superyacht crew in 2023.
US-based Norwegian designer Kurt Strand has presented a new 171-metre (561-foot) superyacht concept named Lonestar.
Lonestar will be constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, complete with elegant lines with soft curves and an eye-catching powder blue hull.
The superyacht concept boasts a helicopter landing pad on the foredeck, complete with its own storage hangar. Accommodation can host up to 32 guests in 16 cabins.
At the bow, the owner has their own secret “love crib” which offers panoramic views and private access to a 500m2 owner’s suite. Amenities include a wine cellar, gym and spa, as well as space for a crew of 50.
Lonestar draws inspiration from traditionally Texan design elements. Strand describes the use of western style with the “Texas star” featuring heavily alongside rustic wood, leather and artworks by Texas-based artisans.
Strand has envisioned the yacht with hybrid gas turbines that produce electricity for the four-pod drives, totalling 38,000 horsepower and providing a maximum speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 16 knots.
Lonestar is also equipped with six custom tenders ranging from 7m (22ft) to 12m (39ft), which have been designed to match the mothership.
