The IMOCA 60 class yacht Holcim - PRB originally launched as PRB (5) was designed by Guillaume Verdier, built by Carrington Boats in Hythe, England, and launched in 2022.{{Cite web |title=HOLCIM - PRB |url=https://www.imoca.org/en/boats/holcim-prb |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=www.imoca.org |language=en}} The boat was shipped to France for final fitout.{{cite web|url=https://www.histoiredeshalfs.com/Histoire%20des%2060%27/A45.htm|title=IMOCA 60 Archive Entry for PRB (2022)|access-date=2022-01-05}} The hull was moulded for an Ocean Race project that was cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PRB team used the parts completed as a way to accelerate their build process and get back out on the water following the sinking of PRB 4 on 30 November, 2020.{{cite web|url=https://www.imoca.org/en/news/news/prb-starts-the-construction-of-a-new-imoca|title=PRB starts the construction of a new IMOCA|date=2021-05-30|access-date=2022-01-05}}
