MICRO
The queen of the Bolger
keel sharpies and the world's only real pocket cruiser: 15'4"
x6', draft 1'9", sail 153 sq ft
SquareBoats brings
you Roger Keyes' adventuring Micro, Paloma
Blanca
Other Micros rampage at the
ends of these external links plundered from the Bolger
Boats on the Web listing:
The
original photo on the web
The
DEFINITIVE Micro page from Chuck Merrell. "Trivial Pursuit" in great
photos and construction photos, with a link to an extreme goldplater Micro!
This is a MUST SEE page. Technical details, links and an archive
of the original Micro newsletters.
Yet
more Micro... Construction, internals. Note, large photos in this link.
...and
even more on Micro construction... Look, read, learn as John Morrice
progresses through construction in the chilly British Isles.
...and
another progressive construction... A good building page from Rob Feeney.
...and
one with a bowsprit, no less.. Demountable bowsprit and jib added,
a sort of racing (?) version to terrify other boats and her crew alike.
...and
Stan Muller's Snow Goose building shots...
...and
Peter Lenihan's Micro...
...and
is it a YAM? (yet another Micro?) Well, yes, but this boat, like
Paloma
Blanca, has really done things.
LONG MICRO
For those who want a little
bit more: 19'6" x 6', draft 1'9'', sail 263 sq ft
At the risk of being excommunicated
by the Master, SquareBoats has Dave Zeiger
and Anke Wagner's Zoon, a modified Long Micro with leeboards
rather than keel. Conventional Long Micros haul their keels on these
external links:
Long
Micro Totally reworked website choc-a-bloc with information, FAQs,
photos on this great pocket cruiser. Square boats really rule OK!
This is the best info available on the Long Micro.
OLDSHOE
Daysailer much bigger
than her dimensions suggest: 11'7" x 5'1'', draft 1'3", sail 91 sq
ft

a rudder - Heinrich Rose's maiden voyage
