What sailboats are considered cult sailboats?



Thistles ( did I spell that right?) At least I lived close to a fleet
of them and most of the members acted like cult members.

You obviously mistook sore butts and legs for cult behavior. g

So that's why they walked stoved up for three days after a race!

Someone actually makes special hiking shorts to be worn by Thistle crew.
They have extensive (!) padding in the butt and legs, extending down over
the area behind the knees. I owned a pair and they were a godsend, if ugly.

For obvious reasons.


Satan also has a cult following.




As does Jesus

As does Osama bin Laden.

As does Lou Reed

Ah yes, Lou Reed. Count me in as a Lou Reed cultist.

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.

I would think that being over 20 years would qualify.

I used to know a couple of women who would qualify as cult classics if
you use Bart's definition. :-)

Outside wood, pink on the inside, and flexed quite a bit. They also
had some other interesting characteristics. :-)
