Exclusive pictures of M5, the largest single-mast sailing yacht in the world, getting ready for an ocean crossing with a seaplane on her stern.
The incredible M5 (ex-Mirabella V) is about to embark on a Pacific crossing, and seen here with her designer and naval architect Ron Holland.

This 77.6-metre underwent an extensive two year refit at Pendennis in 2012 which saw three metres added to her stern, as well as the removal and re-stepping of her groundbreaking rig. This extra space has enabled her new owners to keep a private Carbon Cub sea plane on her stern.
Built at VT Shipbuilding and launched in 2003, she is the largest single-mast superyacht ever built, with an astonishing 90m mast. What was at the time considered to be a very daring yacht is now seen as one of the most iconic and recognised superyachts of the 21st Century.
She accommodates up to 14 guests across seven cabins and has 15 crew, as well as plenty of entertaining space not often seen on typical sailing yachts.

M5 (ex Mirabella V) restyled by Pendennis Shipyard
M5 's stern was remodeled at the pendennis shipyard in falmouth, uk and completed her sail trials successful..
M5 was originally built in 2004 as Mirabella V . Until she is still the largest sloop with over 75 meters (length of the hull) and an almost 90 meters long mast.
Designed and manufactured by Carbo-Link with OYS making the fittings, the 34 new carbon fiber stays, and titanium fittings with built-in dynamic fiber optics have decreased the weight of the rig by 18 tons. The sail trials not only established the M5 ‘s potential speed but tested the new system and balance of the yacht under sail for the first time. During several hours on the water with challenging sea conditions, the remodeled boat performed well, reaching 17.7 knots in 18-23 knots of wind.
The project, due to be completed over the next month, has seen a collaboration between Pendennis and the original designer Ron Holland , to achieve the Owners idea of extending the stern by 3m which has created a new sleeker profile providing an impressive aft deck area. During the refit, Pendennis has completed extensive engineering works and the interiors have been redesigned by UK company Redman Whiteley Dixon .

One of the world's largest sailing yachts arrives on Vancouver Island
One of the largest sailing yachts in the world cruised into a small Vancouver Island community this week, drawing a constant stream of onlookers to the Mill Bay Marina.
At 78 metres long and nearly 90 metres tall, the sloop M5 is hard to miss.
According to Boat International magazine, the Cayman-flagged vessel is the largest single-masted sailing yacht in the world.
The M5 sailed into the Saanich Inlet marina on Sunday, with a floatplane housed on its rear deck.
Built in 2004 by U.K. shipyard Vosper Thornycroft at an estimated US$50 million, the vessel is owned by Texas oil billionaire Rod Lewis, according to Boat International.
Marina staff say the vessel is due to depart on Friday.

World’s largest single-mast sailboat heads south after overnight in Departure Bay
NANAIMO — It was a brief stop, but still one which turned many heads towards Nanaimo’s harbour.
The M5, a 75 metre (roughly 250 feet) long and 88.5 metre (290 foot) high vessel, arrived in Nanaimo on Sunday, Sept. 17 and departed early Monday morning bound for Victoria as it continued its journey down Island.
It is due in Oak Bay Monday afternoon and previously moored off Hernando Island, near Campbell River, over the weekend.
Owned by Rod Lewis, owner of the Lewis Energy Group which is one of the largest natural gas producers in Texas, the M5 is comfortably the largest single-mast sailboat in the world with the speed to match.
While its listed top speed is 14 knots, Lewis is on record saying he’s gotten the ship up to 22 knots (around 40 kilometres per hour).
In addition to its massive sail, featuring the largest mast and jib of any sailing craft ever built, two engines provide power and were used to move the vessel out of Nanaimo Monday morning.
While it’s unclear whether Lewis is currently aboard, the vessel comfortably sleeps 16 guests and 17 crew members.
Formerly dubbed the Mirabella V, the M5 was launched in November 2003 and completed the following year.
The boat has undergone several major refits including in 2013 and 2019.
The M5 is valued around $50 million, with annual operating costs of roughly $5 million.

World’s two tallest masts of sailing yacht Salute and superyacht M5 serviced by Marine Results

Written by Chelsea Smith
Marine Results, an international rigging and structural inspection company has just carried out service work on the masts of sailing yacht M5 and superyacht Salute – two of the world’s tallest masts. Marine Results inspected the rig of fast cruising sloop Salute which has the world’s tallest aluminium mast at a towering 75 metres. But even that measurement was dwarfed by the next project on the schedule, that of the giant 89 metres high rig belonging to the 75m yacht M5 (ex Mirabella) . Sailing yacht M5 is not only the world’s largest sailing sloop but she has the world’s tallest carbon rig.
Marine Results personnel work on the gigantic M5 sailing yacht mast.
“We have worked extensively with both yachts since they were launched,” comments Jon Morris of Marine Results. “Following completion of the two most recent projects we reflected that we had just carried out work on the world’s two largest rigs in their particular construction category. We are pretty proud of that achievement and the way that it illustrates our capabilities.”
In the case of the 56m Perini Navi yacht Salute, Marine Results carried out an extensive inspection after the team un-stepped the rig at the Perini Navi yard in La Spezia, where she was originally built. Marine Results then worked with Perini’s mast division to complete the inspection on the mast and rigging systems. Marine Results specialises in a range of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to check for concealed stressing and damage.
The second of the two record breakers, the M5 yacht had her mast pulled out as part of a substantial one-year refit at Pendennis Shipyard in Cornwall. Marine Results was called in to unstep the rig prior to an extensive modification programme which is expected to last until the end of 2012.
“Unstepping the rig was no small job,” said Morris. “The rig weighs a colossal 46 tonnes. To give you an idea of the size of the job, when we removed the boom vang, this alone was 9.5 metres long and weighed 900 kg.
“One of our strengths is our ability to deploy our teams around the world to carry out service work on dozens of the world’s most advanced racing and cruising superyachts,” concludes Jon Morris. Marine Results is based in Hamble, England and La Ciotat, France .
