Hi Josh,

Do you really want the Silver ones ?

They had a reputation for being a bit fragile, and for a lot of applications were replaced by Blue when they became available.

Some opinion from across the pond here :

http://www.gwtwforum.com/index.php?topic=1317.0

For me, in a Fury the blue gives an UL that can fly in a much higher wind range than a 2P'd UL, more overlap with the STD, so nicer in changing wind. Doesn't lose much in the low wind end either compared to 2P.

I think Red Alert (Mike Loskov's team) have Blue in UL and SUL (flat sail), so covering the minimum wind range.

Cheers - Tony

Have too agree with this, we were using blue in the std Cosmic TC in everything except strong wind.
