Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | Anyone have more info on this boat moored in Naples at the cocohatchee river park? Looks like a Stilleto or Reynolds, maybe close to 30 feet?
There's another cat of similar design across the dock at Marina Bay club.
These things need to be out sailing!

Posts: 217 Palm Harbor, FL | Wow, I was planing on naming my next boat Flying Circus. I just came to that decision this weekend and now I see this. Small world.

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | I'll try to grab a picture next time I'm there. It needs a little love, as there is quite a bit of grass on the bottom but looks sailable.
What threw me is there is no canopy on the hulls like the Stillettos I see on the web, just a sliding hatch on each side, and no windows/hatches forward on the hulls. Maybe a Stilletto 23?
I suspect that other one I see nearby is maybe a 27' stilleto? Can't get in there to have a closer look.

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | in looking on the net, Flying Circus may be a Mcgregor design, since it doesn't have those hull canopies...

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | I think I saw daggarboard wells in each hull, which isn't typical of a Stilletto, is it?
