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 .
M5 carries now a water plane on aft deck

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.

Inside Mirabella V – the largest sloop in the world
- November 10, 2003
There are 497 billionaires in the world and I need just 20 of them,"...
There are 497 billionaires in the world and I need just 20 of them,” pleaded Joe Vittoria, the man building Mirabella V, the world’s largest sloop which by the end of 2003 will be available for charter at US$250,000 a week. He is already eagerly seeking clients.
While most observers still find it difficult to take in the scale of the 246ft 8in long, 300ft high Mirabella V, now well advanced at VT Shipbuilding in Woolston, Southampton, Vittoria’s clear underlying message is that she’s first and foremost a business. He wasn’t too worried about the relative paucity of billionaires – as a fallback, he said there were 10,000 people in the world worth US$500million and with just 20 weeks’ charter to fill each year he was confident of hitting targets. Joe Vittoria, who also owns the 140ft Farr-designed Mirabella and Mirabella III, which he has been chartering successfully for several years, has done his homework and is entirely confident that blunted western economies are unlikely to deflect his potential client base. The scale of their wealth puts them above the stock market melee. So he reckons the signs for really big yacht charter are looking good, especially as sail can now match motor yachts for speed and efficiency. That’s what Mirabella V is all about. Above all, Vittoria, who made his fortune selling car rental giant Avis, appears to be relishing the experience. With a glint in his eye and the grin of a boy with a big new toy, he showed off the huge yacht with infectious enthusiasm.
Tallest rig will impress ‘If you’ve got it, flaunt it’ is society’s message these days so that should ensure that Mirabella will sell well. “She might look long as she sits off the south of France at the Cannes Film Festival but it will be the size of that mast that will impress most,” predicted Vittoria.
It’s certainly a big one; the biggest, in fact. It’s 291ft 11ft (89m) and from truck to the bottom of her keel Mirabella would ‘stand’ twice as high as Nelson’s column (see Yachting World, April 2002). It’s more than 50 per cent taller than any other mast ever built and the carbon fibre technology needed to keep it up required six months of testing at the National Physics Laboratory in west London before structural engineers High Modulus and VT’s Composite Technology Centre had the nerve to start building it.
Having a substantial tender is essential because Mirabella will be unable to moor to a dock in most harbours. “If I’ve learned one thing it’s that you have to move your guests quickly but, most importantly, comfortably without wrecking the hairdos,” said Joe. The Hinckley is flanked by no fewer than four Laser dinghies and a couple of small RIBs.
“You know, people think chartering is about anchoring, lying around in the sun and drinking a lot. It’s not,” claimed Vittoria. “A lot of these guys – and there are plenty around 35 – want to sail and the idea is when they stop they have the Lasers for racing – we can set up a race course for them.” He’s even got two 1.5m miniature radio-controlled Mirabella Vs in the ‘garage’ for less strenuous competition.
“Although they’re banned almost everywhere in the world, we have jet skis – we have to have jet skis – kayaks, skis, scuba gear, dive compressors, four windsurfers, a banana boat . . .”
The drawing also shows two recesses in the foredeck just abaft the innermost furler, stowages for two tenders while the yacht is underway. One is a 21ft safety boat that has to have an orange cover for Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) regulations; the other is a crew tender. But when the yacht is lying at anchor and the boats are launched, the recesses are each filled with 10 tons of fresh water. One becomes a vast, very deep jacuzzi, the other a wade pool. “They’re deeper than we thought – we reckon one of the crew will have to be a trained lifeguard when clients use the pools,” says Vittoria.
Two cinemas, equipped with wireless headsets for the audience, a three-man crow’s nest which will whisk people 150ft up the forward face of the mast (don’t forget that’s only halfway), sauna, gym and sophisticated entertainment system for the seven guest cabins, add up to a very big yacht full of fun. Satellite phones and Internet are available in all cabins.
Charter options The two traditional theatres of charter, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, will be favoured. “People want Cannes, St Tropez, Elba, the Costa Smeralda – maybe if we could get two charters we could move round to Croatia – that’s a great coastline,” said Joe Vittoria. But even now he sees the downtime for the delivery trip being a problem. Jacqui Beadon, who used to head up Camper & Nicholsons’ Charter Management Division, has been given the marketing and central booking responsibilities for the new yacht along with Mirabella and Mirabella III.
But there is still a long way to go. There have been slight hold-ups at VT because of the failure of one of the main interior fit out sub-contractors – Nicholson Interiors went into liquidation – and there have been inevitable alterations. But the aim is to start sailing trials in September 2003.
A visit to Greenwich was, we understand, being toyed with, but as the air draught of the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Dartford is just 54.1m at mean high water springs it’s out of the question with the mast up – Tilbury is about the closest they’ll get. From there the plan is to head for the Caribbean and the Antigua Charter Show in early December.
Redefining ‘big’ In the meantime, VT continue to face up to the task of what composites consultant Damian Byrne referred to a ‘redefining big’. Mirabella V is due down the ways of her building shed in May. It will be a traditional launch down greased runways and, as one of the last vessels to leave VT’s Woolston site before they up sticks and move the entire production to the Royal Naval Dockyard at Portsmouth and their Porchester site, it will undoubtedly be an emotional moment.
As we walked directly beneath the vast 130-ton fibre-reinforced plastic structure with much of its MDF mould now removed, a remarkably fair hull could be inspected. The timber rails down which Mirabella will slide with just 80mm clearance between her portside and the building shed doors – don’t worry, there are 250mm to spare on the other side – are already being built and there is already a sense of expectancy as the New Year approaches.
Wandering underneath the 75m (245ft) yacht revealed another of her startling features. There’s a 6.09m (20ft) long hole where the lifting keel will locate. Designer Ron Holland publicly pleaded with VT project manager Mike Carter not to refer to the 150 tonne keel as a ‘drop’ keel. But drop or lower it will, to extend Mirabella V’s draught from a manageable 3.9m (12ft 10in) to 10m (33ft). In the up position it will draw the same as the existing Mirabellas so V will be able to follow in their wake – literally – despite being 100ft longer.
The lift keel is the most complex piece of the engineering jigsaw. VT, High Modulus, project manager Paul Johnson and Ron Holland have had to work out how to marry the enormous steel keel box, extending from the bilge to the deckhead, to the 70mm (3in) thick polyester vinyl foam and carbon hull structure. It’s not easy to integrate such totally dissimilar materials but that’s the least of their problems.
Designer Ron Holland and Det Norske Veritas and the MCA, the certification authorities, want Mirabella and, in particular, her keel structure, to survive a 90° knockdown with the keel in the fully down position. When you think there will be 91 tons of lead in the bulb alone, you begin to appreciate the size of the calculation. The fin and bulb are so huge that the former will have to be lowered into the keel box from above while the latter is slid underneath the hull (having been topped up with lead) and then offered up to each other.
The keel is pushed and pulled up and down by a 10m (33ft) long hydraulic ram, set inside the keel, with its own dedicated pump. Massive pins lock the fin in fully up, fully down or halfway positions.
750 tons at 20 knots In spite of Mirabella’s bulk (750 tons loaded), there has been a genuine attempt to make her a good sailing yacht. And when you look at the proportion of the rig, the depth of the bulb and the relatively shallow hull you could be persuaded she may well top 20 knots.
You can discount any claim that she will benefit from a lightweight construction by using composites instead of aluminium. Steel bulkhead doors and 60 tons of fire insulation specified by the MCA – at 500grt she is classed as a ship – have cancelled that out, despite the use of a very compact (but expensive) form of ceramic insulation material. The real benefit from composites is reduced maintenance and with a charter boat that means less downtime.
Biggest sails in the world But it is the rig, the spars and sails for Mirabella V which continue to intrigue more than anything. Peter Holloway, who is project managing the construction, has spent six months testing various carbon matrices first using a test rig on site at Porchester and then sending samples to the National Physics Laboratory at Teddington. Then the team built a 100m (328ft) long mould in which the 89m (292ft) 10-ton five-piece mast tube will be built.
The mast comprises a forward section made in three parts and an aft section made in two parts with the top part of the front moulding forming a taper. The wall thickness is about 20mm for most of the length but increases to 50mm at the bury. Before the fore and aft half are glued together, compression bars will be built in internally to take spreader roots (there are five sets) and other fittings.
‘Dry’ carbon cloth, pre-impregnated with resin supplied by Cytec Engineered Materials, has to be vacuum-bagged onto the mould and then uniformly baked in stages up to 70°C. The final heat cure lasts for several hours. Building an oven that big was out of the question so Peter and his team have constructed a mould fitted with more than 200 thermo couplers which monitor the temperature as the laminate is gradually heated to 70° by heater blankets. A Dasylab 6 computer software package controls the heat, which can be monitored every metre or so along the entire mould from both sides of the carbon structure.
It is crucial to maintain an even temperature and a uniform vacuum, a process requiring five pumps running simultaneously. “It’s taken us six months to get this far but the cost is cheap when you consider the scrap value of just one section if we get it wrong!” said Peter. The tube alone costs £500,000.
The boom is a wet lay-up so doesn’t need the heated mould but the laminate is consolidated by vacuuming. At almost 92ft long (28m), 6ft 6in wide (2m) and almost as deep, the two halves of the boom mould look like aircraft wings. The Park Avenue design will allow the 1.4 ton battened main to flake into a vast trough.
The other big moulding task involves the ten spreaders. They are so big a man could lie on top of one and not be seen from the deck, although he would have to avoid the three uplights and three decklights fitted to each – so 60 spreader lights in all! By the time this story is published lamination for the mast will have started – the team is still working out how to sling the tube and when to attach the 20 tons of rod rigging from Ocean Yacht Systems. A further 500kg of cabling will run inside the mast. Another brain teaser is how to move and fit the three Bamar furlers, the biggest one of which stands almost 10ft above the deck (see drawing) and weighs five tons.
Mainsail segments Mirabella’s reacher at 20,450ft2 (1,900m2) will be the biggest sail in the world and will be made by Doyle Sailmakers, who have been commissioned for three sails, including a working jib. Together they weigh a staggering 3.5 tons. They have also been experimenting with what they call a segmented mainsail. Instead of one piece of cloth, the main will be divided into seven segments and attached to six full-length battens.
The sail is so big that the only way to handle it in the event of repairs being needed will be by dividing it into manageable parts. Doyle are still experimenting and have tried a prototype on Ron Holland’s 70ft sloop Golden Opus in the Mediterranean. Each segment, the largest of which will be 315m2 (3,390ft2), is attached to the batten by a series of loops (see diagram above). The battens, too, are a new development with hydraulically spring-loaded inboard ends to prevent damage in tacks and gybes. The sprung ends are designed to act as shock absorbers in an attempt to prevent battens from breaking. The main halyard captive winch – all the winches have been supplied by Egon Sander in Germany – is capable of pulling eight tons and operates a continuous-line halyard. It should take between three and five minutes for the hoist. Particular attention has been paid to the Harken batten car system which runs on a track split in two above the gooseneck so the cars can stow in two stacks.
Ironically, despite the performance predictions for Mirabella, when she crosses oceans she is likely to make the passage under power using her twin 788kW MTU main engines driving Rolls Royce Kamewa Ulstein controllable pitch propellers. “It’s probably more economical to replace an engine than it is the mainsail,” said Joe Vittoria. Mirabella V is simply that sort of yacht.

A jaw-droppingly large sailing yacht, complete with its own float plane, wowed boat enthusiasts while docked at a South Island marina on Tuesday.
The 75-metre luxury yacht M5, also known as the Mirabella V, is the world’s largest single-masted sailing yacht, with its mast reaching 86 metres tall, according to a profile on Boat International.
Built in 2004 at an estimated cost of $50 million USD, the yacht is now owned by Texas-based billionaire Rodney Lewis.

The yacht docked in Mill Bay Sunday night after departing Bedwell Harbour on south Pender Island, according to MarineTraffic.com.
It quickly drew plenty of onlookers thanks to its towering mast and a float plane docked on the vessel.

The vessel also features six cabins, two swimming pools and storage for jet skis, kayaks and more.
Staff at the Mill Bay Marina tell CHEK News they’re “super excited” to have the record-setting yacht docked there, adding that it’s the largest boat to ever do so.
“We feel pretty lucky,” one employee said.

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

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 .

Superyacht Mirabella V sold
It's been a remarkable week as Jacqui Lockhart at Select Charter Services sends word that the 75.22m sailing yacht Mirabella V was sold last week to a private owner who plans a major refit and then extensive cruising. Captain Rocka Romcke and his crew will stay on board with the new owner. Jacqui worked with the owners since conception and advises that "it was a pleasure to be involved in such a unique project and to represent her successfully for charter over the last seven years." Mirabella V may return to the charter market again in the future.
Her owner, Joseph Vittoria, comments, "After seven wonderful years creating Mirabella V and six exciting years sailing in her, it was time to move on. She is in good hands which was very important for us."
Mirabella V is a superyacht in every sense of the word. At 75.22 metres, she is the largest single-masted sailing yacht in the world, and holds the world record for the largest sail and the tallest mast. She has a very spacious interior that can accommodate up to 16 guests in a master suite, four doubles and two twins plus two Pullman berths. Delivered in 2004 by Vosper Thornycroft to a Ron Holland design, she’s proved to be a very popular charter yacht and was featured in the 2005 edition of The Superyachts book.
