US-based Norwegian designer Kurt Strand has introduced a new 171m concept named Lonestar.
Lonestar is defined by “elegant” lines with soft curves and an eye-catching powder blue hull. The concept features a superyacht helicopter landing pad on the foredeck, complete with its own storage hangar.
Lonestar was inspired by Texan design elements - thus the name. Strand describes the use of “western style” with the “Texas star” including heavily alongside rustic wood, leather and artworks by Texas-based crafts-mans.
Strand has taken advantage of the yacht’s 23 metre beam, with accommodation for up to 32 guests in 16 cabins. Amenities include a wine cellar, gym and spa, as well as space for a crew of 50.
Lonestar is equipped with bars with space for musical entertainment and mechanical rodeos.
In terms of propulsion, Strand has envisioned the yacht with hybrid gas turbines that produce electricity for the 4-pod drives, totalling 38,000 horsepower and giving a maximum speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 16 knots.
Lonestar is equipped with six custom tenders ranging from seven metres to 12 metres, which have been intended to match the mothership.
