The Shadow will probably work well for her, even without the rudder.  I 
would suggest checking out a Valley Avocet, which is my favorite boat for 
smaller people, Nigel Dennis Romany, or if she would like something longer 
a Current Designs GTS.  The GTS will be all around a little bigger, but it 
tracks like a train.  The Avocet is more maneuverable, but once the skeg is 
engaged it's beautiful.  The Romany is in-between.

Just my .02.
