Yes on the downwind legs we were that bit more faster, their spinnakers are about the size of my mums " tea towel " but still does the job.

I have to say I admire the thought and design that went into the Shadow, really nothing extra anywhere and like a productionised A Class. Nice design and build quality.

Before I bought the Stealth it was on top of the list to buy but as there were only Stealths at the club I intended to sail at, it was a no brainer.
