Review: Shadow Marine's "Paladin"

For a comparitive example of what these ships look like prior to conversion, here is the "before" image of Paladin's Shadow...

Currently a sequel is in production, the Mystere Shadow and surely a trilogy will follow. Shadow Marine has carved an interesting niche in the marketplace and given new life to some seriously rugged offshore vessels that allow unlimited, worldwide cruising with the comfort and security of remaining fully self-contained.

A super-size tender of sorts, Shadow has opened up a world of possibilities for yachtsmen and heralded-in an entirely new concept in yachting.
