With the first design manufactured in 1976, the Stiletto 27 Sailboat stuck around for a decade before the last batch of the keelboat was manufactured in 1986. Only 500 units were built.

While that may be the last stilettos to be produced, it doesn’t take away the lively memories and happy vibes it brings to the minds of the sailors when they remember their sails.

Interesting Facts

Built by an American company, Stiletto Catamarans, the Stiletto 27 Sailboat was designed to be a racer and cruiser. The keelboat was designed by Don Ansley and Bill Higgins in 1976.

It will interest you to know that the initial plan by the builder was to name the boat Stiletto only. However, the later production of the Stiletto 23 and the Stiletto 30 variants prompted the manufacturer to name it Stiletto 27. The Stiletto 27 Sailboat has made its mark as one of the most technologically advanced sailboats that rapidly accelerates in tight quarters.
