[OS X TeX] Loading Ski Bold in TexShop

I have been trying to use xelatex with the Skia font that comes with Mavericks (10.9.2). I am using texlive2013 and TeXShop 3.18, all recently installed.

When I run:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
   \fontspec[BoldFont={Skia},
    BoldFeatures={Weight=2}]{Skia}
\fontsize{14pt}{20pt}\selectfont
 Skia \quad \bfseries Skia `Bold'
\end{document}

using xelatex, I get output in Skia Regular, including the part \bfseries Skia `Bold’. Since this snippet is straight out of the fontspec documentation. I presume this is the correct way to load the font whose postscript name is “Skia-Regular_Bold”.

Is this the correct way to load Skia Bold?
