Shadow in Indigo (ex-"Silver Shadow IV") was built in 1984, and launched and campaigned in 1985 by a 'C&C-factory team' under Jim Plaxton (who acquired control of C&C in the early '80s).

It was reported that the construction and campaign costs for the year approximated C$900,000.

Her hull is constructed of Carbon Fibre and Kevlar and the deck and hull are bonded into a one piece, round edge unit with no hull deck joint.

She is one of the best equipped yachts of her type. She is almost forty-five feet in overall length and just under fourteen feet wide. Her spar is over sixty feet high and is supported by a four spreader rig with double running backstays. She draws almost nine feet of water. She is a full ocean going racing yacht.
