Scotty,

An awful lot of the Mac's have their followers. My 2-22 was also one.
However, I don't think any of them would even come close to the
"Dragons" or the "Lightings", the New England Catboat, Friendship
Sloops, Lake Champlain Yawls, SkipJacks to name a few. SF Pelican would
fall into that category (To keep Ganz happy) as well ! Many small boats
that were home built would fall into that group also like the El Toro,
Flying Dutchman etc. To many to mention!


Almost any racing class one-design is a "cult boat."

Some are more cult-y, some actually cross the line into occult.

It seems for some boats that the more impractical they are,
the more their owners are devoted to them... like some
women. I've owned a Cape Cod catboat, they are very
practical... more so with application of modern materials.
Does that mean they can't be a cult boat?

I've also owned a Lightning, a punisher of a boat.
Definitely cult material. Maybe I should get a Dragon next?
