Hi, The name is 'Tim Swinburn', he's sailed one for a few years now, along with many other cats. Ian (Yorkshire Dales S.C.) Edited by iansmithofotley |

Yep, that's the boat. It's not a production boat. It's a custom job by John of Stealth Marine. His F18HT hulls with a F16 sized rig on it. F18HT (now called 18HT) is a 2 up boat (20sqm mainsail and 20sqm kite)

Is that the Stealth SXL version that you're talking about? There is one
at Helensburgh sailing club, sailing single handed, only has a mainsail
and a kite and as far as I know, it's a production boat. Maybe its
meant to be sailed double-handed but the guy who races it sails her
really well single handed.

But Not single handed (unless you are talking about the custom 18HT / F16 John did....) 18HT hulls with F16 rig on it. |

I would say similar as any kite boat needs a little bit more "Driving" down wind, but you do (usually) wire it downhill. There is also the Inter 17 to consider ! Edited by Scooby_simon |

There was a test in Y&Y for the shaddow. looked like an amazing boat it is made of kevlar so is very strong and light. It had an odd kite with no pole seemed to work ok tho.
