It has been designed for high-performance sailing. The boat uses simple control systems and high quality fittings, with the lightweight hulls constructed from 1 Kevlar foam sandwich for maximum durability. These Assembly Instructions are intended to assist you in assembling the Shadow, provide guidance with initial settings and make recommendations for sailing the boat. These two icons indicate vital information for the safe ICON KEY assembly and use of your Shadow, or suggested settings Vital information from Yves Loday or Tim Swinburn.

Trampoline 2 The boat is supplied with the trampoline and spinnaker chute fitting attached to the front beam. To ensure even tension the trampoline is secured and tensioned by five ropes: two cords which feed from the front beam through the trampoline to the rear beam, by a securing rope from the rear of the trampoline to the rear beam, and by two spinnaker block ropes from the side of the trampoline to the hulls. 1. Unroll the trampoline from around the front beam and attach the two trampoline cords to the hasps on each side of the rear beam. Tension each of the cords in turn, and secure with half-hitches. 2. Feed one of the spinnaker block ropes down through the eye in the trampoline, so that the spinnaker block shackle is above the trampoline. 3. Feed the spinnaker block rope through the stainless fitting by the daggerboard, then through the webbing loop on the side of the trampoline. Fully tighten the rope and secure with half hitches. 4. Repeat steps 2. and 3. for the second spinnaker block rope. 5. Feed the trampoline tube through the rear of the trampoline. Attach the rear trampoline securing rope to the centre of the tube so that the trampoline can be tensioned outwards from the centre to each side. 6. Feed one half of the trampoline securing rope around the hasps on the rear beam and the trampoline tube, as shown in the picture; secure with half- hitches. Repeat for the other half of the trampoline securing rope. Page 5 SHADOW ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 7. Tension the trampoline by pulling through all of the slack in the rear trampoline securing rope, working from the centre out to each side of the trampoline. This may need to be repeated several times to fully tension the trampoline. 8. Re-tension the two trampoline cords on each side of the rear beam, to take up any slack. 9. Re-tension the two spinnaker block ropes, to take up any slack. Spinnaker blocks 10. Attach the auto-ratchet spinnaker blocks to the shackles in the trampoline. The pressure at which the ratchet mechanism engages in the spinnaker blocks is adjustable, by turning the nut at the end of the block. Dolphin striker The dolphin striker below the front beam must be tensioned to resist downwards pressure from the mast and rig during sailing. 11. There is an adjuster nut and a lock nut, which should both be loosened to ensure that there is no dolphin striker tension already applied, then adjust the first nut until it is just finger tight on the dolphin striker. 12. Make a mark on the thread above the nut (with a permanent marker), and then tension the adjuster nut with a spanner until the mark is approximately 6mm above the nut. 13. Lock the adjuster nut in place by tightening the lock nut down onto it. Page 6 SHADOW ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Section Mast The rotating Shadow mast uses a lightweight aluminium extrusion, with strength and gust response provided by adjustable spreaders and diamond wires. A mast spanner on the base of the mast controls mast rotation, with 3 control lines led to the sides of the boat. A powerful downhaul system provides control over mainsail shape and power, with control lines led to the side of the boat. Spreaders & diamond wires Spreader rake and diamond wire tension determines the response of the mast (and therefore the mainsail) to gusts and to crew weight. If the spreader rake and diamond wire tension are set correctly the mast shape will remain stable and powerful to a suitable point for your crew weight; then as the wind becomes too powerful the forces in the rig will exceed the supporting tension of the diamond wires and the mast will flex and start to de-power the rig. The Shadow has three settings for spreader rake, selected by the clevis pins attaching the rear of the spreaders to the mast. A. Maximum power (spreaders fully forward): suitable for heavier A crews, or light winds. B B. Medium power: suitable for most crews and wind conditions. C C. Minimum power (spreaders fully raked): suitable for lighter crews or strong winds. My spreaders are in the ‘B’ position, which suits my (75 kg) weight well. I am fully powered up in 15 knots of breeze, but can still manage the boat in force 5 gusting 6 conditions. Attaching spreaders & diamond wires 1. Set the spreaders in your desired position, taping the split rings for security. 2. Hook the top diamond wire fittings into the key-holes in the sides of the mast. Page 7 SHADOW ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3. Attach the turnbuckle at the bottom of the diamond wires to the shackle on the front of the mast, taping the split ring for security. 4. Tension the diamond wires with the turnbuckle, until the mast prebend is approximately 38mm (1.5”) – this can be measured by pulling a thin cord tight between the tip and bottom of the mast and measuring the distance from the cord to the mast track. 5. Once the correct prebend is achieved, look down the mast track from the tip. If the mast bends to one side, unfasten the diamond wires and reverse the diamond wires then repeat step 4; if this doesn’t cure the bend some packing will be needed on one diamond wire. Slacken the diamond wires and fit a piece of packing (e.g. a discarded rivet stem or similar diameter piece of stainless steel) between the spreader and diamond wire. Re-tension the diamond wires until the prebend is approximately 38mm (1.5”), then look down the mast track and check for any bend. Repeat with different diameter packing until the mast is straight. 6. Slacken the diamond wires and use silicone sealant to COMPLETELY fill the holes where the top diamond fittings hook into the sides of the mast. 7. Re-tension the diamond wires until the prebend is approximately 38mm (1.5”). Use silicone sealant to completely seal around the diamond fittings, then secure the small protective plastic covers over the diamond fittings with silicone sealant. Take care that the diamond fittings are absolutely sealed in the mast, since any gaps will allow water into the mast and make capsize recovery difficult. 8. Use rigging wire to secure the diamond wires into the spreaders. Use PVC tape around the spreader ends and the front of the spreaders, to reduce the risk of snagging the spinnaker. Page 8 SHADOW ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 9. Lock the turnbuckle in place with the securing pin to prevent loss of diamond tension during sailing, which could result in rig failure. Main halyard 1. Feed the mainsail halyard around the pulley at the tip of the mast into the mast track. 2. Use a screwdriver or knife-blade to feed the end of the halyard down the track and out through the slot near the base of the mast.

Robert continued A. J. Fisher until 2001 when he retired. A. J. Fisher has been owned by William Partridge since 2003. Our goal is to maintain the fine quality ship model kits produced for over 90 years and to update and reissue over 20 of the original A.J. Fisher classic solid hull ship model kits. The A. J. Fisher fittings listed in this catalog are cast in pewter unless otherwise noted.

The latter are hermaphrodite brigs, or “half-brigs”, or simply “brigs” to use the jargon of laconic whalemen. Kate Cory was built in 1856 by Frank Sisson and Eli Allen in Westport Point, Massachusetts for Alexander H. Cory, one of the lead- ing merchants of that community. The ship was named after Alexander’s daughter. Registered at 132 tons net, Kate Cory was 75' 6" in length between perpendiculars, 9' 1-1/2" depth, and had a beam of 22' 1". The last large vessel to be built within the difficult confines of that port, she was also one of the last small whalers to be built specifically for her trade; most of the later whaling brigs and schooners were converted freighters or fishermen. While originally rigged as a schooner, Kate Cory was converted to a brig in 1858, this rig affording steadier motion in heavy seas or while cutting-in whales, not to mention saving much wear and costly repair to spars, sails and rigging.
