LONE STAR is a world cruising yacht designed by Naval Architect Jay E. Paris Jr. and built at Mashford Bros Ltd. Shipyard in Cremyll, Cornwall, England for a Texas Businessman and launched in 1982. Constructed solely in wood using the finest materials with extreme attention to detail, she has proven herself a safe and reliable ocean-going yacht with a rich history.
This classic and remarkable vessel is owned and sailed by the original family, with the same professional captain for the past 32 years. She has been wonderfully maintained and updated and she naturally gathers attention with her beauty and fine construction. There is no finer feeling than sailing her into a foreign port with flags flying and crew standing strong.
This one-of-a-kind, custom yacht has sailed the world, with many of her adventures documented in nautical magazines. See the list of publications in the full specs, as well as a detailed cruising history. Call the LISTING BROKER for more information and an appointment to tour this incredible boat!
HistoryAfter launching in England and subsequent sea trials, she crossed the Atlantic from The Canaries to Antigua, West Indies and cruised the Caribbean Islands before making her way to Houston, Texas. Here she was based for several years, cruising the coast of Texas and Mexico. In 1988 she crossed the Gulf of Mexico to Florida and continued sailing the East Coast of the United States to Maine where she underwent a minor re-fit.
In 1989 she returned to the West Indies to cruise for several years. In 1991 she transited the Panama Canal and crossed the Pacific to Tahiti and then onward to Fiji arriving in New Zealand. Here she underwent a major re-fit before crossing the Tasman Sea to the Great Barrier Reef. Her voyage continued across the top of Australia to Bali, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and up the Red Sea to Athens, Greece. After several years of fun sailing the northern Mediterranean Sea, she arrived in Gibraltar in 1997 to prepare for her second Atlantic Crossing.
After her second transatlantic, she was based in the Windward Islands for several years before returning to Houston in 2000. In Houston, she received a major re-fit in preparation for a circumnavigation of South America.
In 2006 she departed Texas for Florida, The Bahamas, and Panama. In 2008 she sailed to The Galapagos Islands before returning to mainland South America to cruise the coast south to Chile and Tierra del Fuego. She rounded Cape Horn and sailed in the Southern Ocean up the coast to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2010. After a year in Buenos Aires, she departed to cruise several months along the coast of Brazil arriving in Grenada, West Indies.
In 2017 after several years of cruising the Lesser Antilles, she departed Grenada to return to Brazil and Argentina in preparation for her third Atlantic crossing, to Cape Town, South Africa. Crossing the Southern Ocean was a fun challenge where she recorded her longest time at sea of 24 days.
After crossing the Atlantic in early 2020 with stops in St. Helena and Natal, Brazil, LONESTAR is currently back in her homeport of Kemah, Texas
