The Stiletto 27 represents a pivotal moment in multihull evolution, emerging in the mid-1970s as a futuristic departure from the heavy, displacement-oriented catamarans of the era. Designed by Bill Higgins and Don Ansley and produced by Force Engineering, the Stiletto 27 was one of the first production yachts to utilize aerospace-grade materials, specifically a vacuum-bagged epoxy and Nomex honeycomb core. This construction allowed the boat to achieve a displacement of approximately 1,100 pounds—an astonishing feat for a 27-foot vessel with overnighting capabilities. The boat’s design language, characterized by its distinctive "bubble" canopy and slender hulls, was intended to bridge the gap between high-performance beach cats and coastal cruisers.
