Peter Wormwood's Stiletto 23 represents an innovative approach to small catamaran design that emerged in the mid-1980s. Built by Force Engineering, this fractional sloop-rigged catamaran combines lightweight construction with impressive performance credentials for its size class. At 23 feet overall with a 13.83-foot beam, the Stiletto 23 features twin daggerboards and fiberglass construction that keeps displacement to just 875 pounds. This ultralight design philosophy translates into exceptional speed potential, evidenced by an impressive sail area to displacement ratio of 61.32 – firmly placing it in high-performance territory. The 350 square feet of sail area provides ample power for spirited sailing in various conditions. The catamaran configuration offers inherent stability and reduces heeling, making it an excellent choice for day sailing, coastal cruising, and club racing. The shallow 3.5-foot draft with retractable daggerboards allows access to skinny waters and easy beach launching, expanding cruising opportunities considerably. Known for responsive handling and impressive speed, the Stiletto 23 appeals to sailors seeking performance-oriented sailing without the complexity of larger multihulls. Its reputation centers on delivering genuine catamaran sailing excitement in a manageable, trailerable package that doesn't require a large crew to handle effectively.
