Does anyone know what manufactured fiberglass sailboat sold more than any other, making it the most popular in history?

I'll bite
As far as Sailboats with a cabin, I think the winner would be the Catalina 22. They made a lot of them and they still are making them. This is without a doubt the most popular trailer sailor weekender racer that I've heard of. The still have a very active one design fleet as well.

Don't forget Hobie
The Hobie 16 has sold a lot of copies! Do you think that mold is paid for itsele? Like a couple of billion times maybe

You've got to classify the boat !. What type?
Popularity must be defined. As much as I admire Catalina's it depends on what particular boat. I would think the C22 has more boats manufactured just because it smaller and cheaper (even knowing the popularity of the C30). And taking it a step further, I would think the "Laser" or "Sunfish" is even more prolific (popular is a relative term)

I heard the most sold boat was
I heard somewhere that the most popular boat ever sold was a 26 footer. I cant even remember where I saw it or what kind it was! I was talking about small 20 to 30 footers, all fiberglass, and production models!

smaller are more popular
Here are some estimates- Sunfish 250,000 + Laser 150,000 + Hobie 16 100,000 + Catalina 22 16,000 + Catalina 30 6,500 + I think you will find that the Cat 25 and 27 will probably fit somewhere between the 22 and the 30.
