First, I apologize to Stan for not including a link to your site (which I have visited frequently, by the way).....

I find the concept very interesting!!!! And, perhaps a possibility later in 2006 if I get my yacht going!!!!

Cheers,

Mark

In practise, it is the 100 footer range that really maximizes its options with a Shadow at a mere fraction of what the same services, toys and support would cost on a Clorox Bottle or Wedding Cake yacht.

LMAO! Welcome Stan, I'm sure you're going to fit right in here

Hi Stan,

I won’t be able to make the show, but my boat is enroute to Lauderdale now. My captain will be attending the show and I’d like you to meet him. I’ll let him know you will be there. I’m interested to learn about the different options available and what the cost would be to configure a shadow for my apps. Thanks.

Bill V.

Bill -

I would be pleased to show your capitano around.

Make sure he reminds me of your connection so I know who I am talking to. As you know, the boat shows (esp FLL) are manic.

In the meantime I would be happy to send you some drawings that you can doodle on!

Thank you for your interest.

Rgds,

Stan

Is "Paladin Shadow" the ex "LL Shadow"?

To "Mystere": Is there a different style? or the same like "Paladin"?

I think so shadow boats will be a very good solution for sailing yachts.

Thumbs up Shadow Marine Debut

The Paladin Shadow is NOT the old Lady Lola Shadow. LL Shadow is now called Amevi Surprise and chases around a 54 meter Amels named (you guessed?) Amevi.

The Paladin Shadow is a much improved version of the Shadow concept. She has 2 guest cabins, Flume technology for always active roll stabilization, her interior is a SOLAS poackage and her finish and hull fairing is much more fine. She is a real lady, just more the cow girl style than the New York City-type glizty yachts. She could serve as a yacht herself but the guest cabins are really designed for overflow (mother in law) from the main yacht.

The Mystere Shadow is the sister ship and in the exact mold of the Paladin Shadow. She is half complete and ready for a new owner to customize her. We are working on mkaing her a dive expedition vessel for 2 separate clients though neither has written a check as of yet.

Both vessels re 170 feet and can carry their weight in toys, tenders, supplies and helicopters. Extra crew if you need them, a machine shop and unlkimited storage.

If you have not visited in a while, our web site has been updated with current pictures of the Shadows and even some shots of our new offices in Ft. Lauderdale. If you are in south Florida, make sure to drop in to pick up a Shadow Marine polo shirt and gift bag. Tell them Stan sent you if I am out of the office.

And you are right on the money - our best clients should be the sailing community to carry extra masts, tenders, rigging, sails, etc. If you know some, pass on the good word.

All the best,

Stan

Spot on, Kelly! Would you like a job?

Having thought about it a moment, I realized that after 40 years of cruising the high seas I never sea those lovely sailing yachts with the cloth flying. In my mind they have all become twin diesel motor yachts with extremely limited deck space.......making them the best Shadow candidates.

Question

OK, Kelly, I'll be the town fool in public.

In the ranks of the older computer semi-literate crowd I will ask for all others in their 60's, what the h____ is LMAO?

I just learned last week the LOL was not Lots of Luck!

Thx,

Stan
