The fifth Gallant Lady was a replacement for the previous two Sportfishermen, now considered too small for the amount of corporate wining and dining taking place onboard. At 35.35 metres, this represented a significant departure from the previous design. Retaining the same sleek 'fighting machine' attributes at an increased length of almost 10 metres was achieved by departing from the traditional partition on a Sportfisherman between the hull and the decks above. This design of blending the hull and superstructure in one smooth continuation was taken a stage further in 1992 with the sixth Gallant Lady.
