The fifth Gallant Lady was a replacement for the previous two Sports Fishermen, now considered too small for the amount of corporate wining and dining taking place. At some 35.35m, this represented a significant departure from the previous design. Retaining the same sleek 'fighting machine' attributes at an increased length of almost 30 feet was achieved by departing from the traditional partition on a Sports Fisherman 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.
