Can you call a mainstream boat like the J-24 a cult boat?

I think the Moore 24 is a far superior boat, but it
was not marketed as well on the J-24.

I agree on the Olson 30. It was an affordable keelboat
whose light weight and white knuckle performance gives
it the edge as a cult boat.

I like the Express 27 also. I haven't sailed either boat, but
I like them both very much. Many people say the Express
27 is a better boat by and large on the wind.

Why did you say Hobie 33. I don't know much about
these boats. Fill us in.

I think that in order for a boat to be labeled a cult classic that
it cannot be of recent make, must be of either wood or early
fiberglass constriction, and cannot be found everywhere. There's a
difference between just being old and popular and being a cult classic.
