The Shadow is a high performance single- handed catamaran with an asymmetric spinnaker. Thanks to it's light weight and simple, powerful controls, it is an attainable challenge to sailors who may have never considered a single handed asymmetric, or a catamaran before.

The performance on all points of sail is far beyond almost all other single handed boats but you don't have to spend a lot of time swimming while you learn the skills.

The boat's handling is more comparable to a modern skiff than most older cat designs: quick tacking, extremely responsive and with low sheet loads. The light weight (only 99 Kg ready to sail) brings other advantages too: It's a true single hander and can be rigged, launched and righted after a capsize by the sailor alone.

The performance is comparable to many 2 man cats and as well as offering strict one- design racing, the Shadow is very competitive in handicap events.
