Designed by Ron Holland and built by Vosper Thornycroft, M5 is the largest single-masted yacht ever built. The yacht underwent a refit, completed in 2014, at Pendennis Shipyard where, alongside other modifications, the stern section of the vessel was redesigned and extended by 3-metres. However, this refit left her keel slightly unbalanced. An additional, major refit completed in 2020 at the NCA shipyard, sought to rebalance the keel by cutting her keel in half and moving the ram housing 300-millimetres forward. Besides her technical changes, M5 also received a new paint job featuring a three-tone grey livery with a metallic palladium hull, anthracite silver superstructure and crystal silver mast and boom.
