What sailboats are considered cult sailboats?

35s5 bringing up the rear

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. :-)

Were they wood, or fiberglass?

You will notice he did not stick an "X" or and "M" behind the 26....

Satan also has a cult following.
